Genome of the epiphytic bacterium Achromobacter denitrificans strain EPI24, isolated from a macroalga located in the Colombian Caribbean.

ABSTRACT: Marine macroalgae are being recognized as reservoirs of biologically active compounds, as their surfaces are susceptible to the colonization of microorganisms which can produce enzymes with a wide range of molecular architectures. Among these bacteria, Achromobacter is responsible for the biosynthesis of laccases. In this research, we performed a bioinformatic pipeline to annotate the sequenced complete genome of the epiphytic bacterium Achromobacter denitrificans strain EPI24, from the macroalgal surface of the Ulva lactuca species; this strain showed laccase activity which has been previously assessed on plate assays. The genome of A. denitrificans strain EPI24 has a size of ∼6.95 Mb, a GC content of 67.33%, and 6,603 protein-coding genes. The functional annot
