Comparative Genomic Analysis of a Thermophilic Protease-Producing Strain Geobacillus stearothermophilus H6.

ABSTRACT: The genus Geobacillus comprises thermophilic gram-positive bacteria which are widely distributed, and their ability to withstand high temperatures makes them suitable for various applications in biotechnology and industrial production. Geobacillus stearothermophilus H6 is an extremely thermophilic Geobacillus strain isolated from hyperthermophilic compost at 80 °C. Through whole-genome sequencing and genome annotation analysis of the strain, the gene functions of G. stearothermophilus H6 were predicted and the thermophilic enzyme in the strain was mined. The G. stearothermophilus H6 draft genome consisted of 3,054,993 bp, with a genome GC content of 51.66%, and it was predicted to contain 3750 coding genes. The analysis showed that strain H6 contained a v
