Whole genome sequencing and comparative genomic analyses of Planococcus alpniumensis MSAK28401^T, a new species isolated from Antarctic krill.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extremophiles have attracted much attention in the last few decades, as they possess different properties by producing certain useful metabolites. However, the secondary metabolism of the extremophiles of Antarctic krill has received little attention.

Results

In this study, a new bacterial strain MSAK28401^T from Antarctic krill was isolated and identified. The results of analysis on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genomic characteristics showed that the strain MSAK28401^T belongs to the genus Planococcus. Cells of this strain were coccoid (0.89-1.05 μm) and aerobic. The majority of the fatty acid content was C_15:0 anteiso (37.67 ± 0.90%) followed by C_16:1 ω7c alcohol (10.37 ± 1.22%) and C_16:0 iso (9.36 ± 0.71%)
