Genome-Driven Analysis Reveals the Biotechnological Potential of a Novel Paenibacillus sp. Isolated From Crude Oil.

ABSTRACT: Microbial biotechnology plays a critical role in addressing environmental challenges and promoting sustainability. Here, we report the complete genome sequencing of Paenibacillus sp. strain 210, previously isolated from Brazilian crude oil and known for its levan metabolism and biosurfactant production. With the sequenced genome, we employed bioinformatics tools for assembly and annotation, followed by comprehensive in silico analyses, including phylogenomics, biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) identification, carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) profiling, and metabolic pathway reconstruction. The assembled 5.7 Mb genome harbors four prophage regions and 13 antimicrobial BGCs, including those encoding fusaricidin, paenicidin A, paenilan, paeninodin, and tridecaptin.
