Comparative Genomic Analysis of Biofilm-Forming Polar Microbacterium sp. Strains PAMC22086 and PAMC21962 Isolated from Extreme Habitats.

ABSTRACT: The members of Microbacterium isolated from different environments are known to form peptidoglycan. In this study, we compared the biofilm-forming abilities of Microbacterium sp. PAMC22086 (PAMC22086), which was isolated from the soil in the South Shetland Islands and Microbacterium sp. PAMC21962 (PAMC21962), which was isolated from algae in the South Shetland Islands. The analysis of average nucleotide identity and phylogeny of PAMC22086 revealed a 97% similarity to Microbacterium oxydans VIU2A, while PAMC21962 showed a 99.1% similarity to Microbacterium hominis SGAir0570. For the comparative genomic analysis of PAMC22086 and PAMC21962, the genes related to biofilm formation were identified using EggNOG and KEGG pathway databases. The genes possessed by
