Complete genome of streamlined marine actinobacterium Pontimonas salivibrio strain CL-TW6^T adapted to coastal planktonic lifestyle.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pontimonas salivibrio strain CL-TW6^T (=KCCM 90105 = JCM18206) was characterized as the type strain of a new genus within the Actinobacterial family Microbacteriaceae. It was isolated from a coastal marine environment in which members of Microbactericeae have not been previously characterized.

Results

The genome of P. salivibrio CL-TW6^T was a single chromosome of 1,760,810 bp. Genomes of this small size are typically found in bacteria growing slowly in oligotrophic zones and said to be streamlined. Phylogenetic analysis showed it to represent a lineage originating in the Microbacteriaceae radiation occurring before the snowball Earth glaciations, and to have a closer relationship with some streamlined bacteria known through metagenomic data.
