Abstract
The linear plasmid pDJ12 from Micrococcus D12, isolated from the high-altitude volcanic Diamante Lake in the northwest of Argentina, was completely sequenced and annotated. It is noteworthy that the element is probably conjugative and harbors genes potentially instrumental in coping with stress conditions that prevail in such an extreme environment.
Highlights
Micrococci are widely distributed and have been isolated from diverse locations including extreme sites [1,2,3,4]
Among members of the phylum Actinobacteria, the genus Micrococcus is of increasing biotechnological importance; Micrococcus species can be used for biodegradation and bioremediation processes [5, 6], and they can be applied for producing useful compounds such as industrially relevant enzymes [7, 8] and long-chained alkenes for the environmentally friendly substitution of fossil fuels [9]
We present the complete genome sequence of the linear plasmid pJD12 hosted by Micrococcus sp
Summary
Micrococci are widely distributed and have been isolated from diverse locations including extreme sites [1,2,3,4]. D12 was previously found to host the large approximately 75-kb plasmid pJD12. Further characterization revealed that the plasmid is a linear rather than a circular extrachromosomal genetic element [3]. We present the complete genome sequence of the linear plasmid pJD12 hosted by Micrococcus sp.
