Abstract

Halocella sp. strain SP3-1, a cellulose-degrading bacterium, was isolated from a hypersaline evaporation pond in Thailand. Here, we report the first complete genome sequence of strain SP3-1. This species has a genome size of 4,035,760 bases, and the genome contains several genes encoding cellulose, hemicellulose, starch-degrading enzymes, and bacteriocins.

Highlights

  • Halocella sp. strain SP3-1, a cellulose-degrading bacterium, was isolated from a hypersaline evaporation pond in Thailand

  • Twenty-one genes associated with the glycoside hydrolases were discovered in the genome of strain SP3-1 by using Blast2GO [12]

  • Bacteriocins are peptides produced by bacteria that inhibit or kill other related and unrelated microorganisms, making them potentially useful for the food and pharmaceutical industries [17]

Summary

Introduction

Halocella sp. strain SP3-1, a cellulose-degrading bacterium, was isolated from a hypersaline evaporation pond in Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes revealed the newly isolated strain SP3-1 is most closely related to Halocella cellulolytica DSM7362, with 92.77% sequence similarity, using the neighbor-joining method [13] via MEGA version 6 [14].
