Whole genome sequencing and analysis of selenite-reducing bacteria Bacillus paralicheniformis SR14 in response to different sugar supplements.

ABSTRACT: The biosynthetic process of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) by specific bacterial strain, whose growth directly affects the synthesis efficiency, has attracted great attentions. We previously reported that Bacillus paralicheniformis SR14, a SeNPs-producing bacteria, could improve intestinal antioxidative function in vitro. To further analyze the biological characteristics of SR14, whole genome sequencing was used to reveal the genetic characteristics in selenite reduction and sugar utilization. The results reviewed that the genome size of SR14 was 4,448,062 bp, with a GC content of 45.95%. A total of 4300 genes into 49 biological pathways was annotated to the KEGG database. EC: 1.1.1.49 (glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase) and EC: 5.3.1.9 (glucose-6-phosphate isomerase), were found to play
