Pan-genomic comparison of a potential solvent-tolerant alkaline protease-producing Exiguobacterium sp. TBG-PICH-001 isolated from a marine habitat.

ABSTRACT: The identification and applicability of bacteria are inconclusive until comprehended with genomic repositories. Our isolate, Exiguobacterium sp. TBG-PICH-001 exhibited excellent halo- and organic solvent tolerance with simultaneous production of alkaline protease/s (0.512 IU/mL). The crude protease (1 IU) showed a 43.57% degradation of whey protein. The bulk proteins in the whey were hydrolyzed to smaller peptides which were evident in the SDS-PAGE profile. With such characteristics, the isolate became interesting for its genomic studies. The TBG-PICH-001 genome was found to be 3.14 Mb in size with 17 contigs and 47.33% GC content. The genome showed 3176 coding genes, and 2699 genes were characterized for their functionality. The Next-Generation-Sequencing of the genome identified o
