Complete Genome Sequencing of Polar Arthrobacter sp. PAMC25284, Copper Tolerance Potential Unraveled with Genomic Analysis.

ABSTRACT: The genus Arthrobacter is a known group of Gram-positive, opportunistic pathogenic bacteria from cold climates, with members that are believed to play a variety of roles at low temperatures. However, their survival mechanisms in frigid environments like the Antarctic are still unknown. We identified a species of Arthrobacter isolated from seawater in the polar region using 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The strain PAMC25284 genome consists of a circular chromosome with a GC content of 65.6% and is projected to contain 3,588 genes, of which 3,150 are protein coding, 366 are pseudogenes, 19 are rRNA coding, and 50 are tRNA coding genes. Using comparative genomics, we showed that PMAC25284 has copper-transporting ATPases, copper chaperone, copper-responsive transcriptional regulato
