Novel genomic and phenotypic traits of polyhydroxyalkanoate-producing bacterium ZZQ-149, the type strain of Halomonas qinghailakensis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are optimal potential materials for industrial and medical uses, characterized by exceptional sustainability, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. These are primarily from various bacteria and archaea. Bacterial strains with effective PHA formation capabilities and minimal production cost form the foundation for PHA production. Detailed genomic analysis of these PHA-generating bacteria is vital to understand their PHA production pathways and enhance their synthesis capability.

Results

ZZQ-149, a halophilic, PHA-producing bacterium, was isolated from the sediment of China's Qinghai Lake. Here, we decoded the full genome of ZZQ-149 using Single Molecule Real Time (SMRT) technology based on PacBio RS II platform, coupled with Illumina
