Abstract

Mangrovibacter sp. SLW1, a Gram-negative, aerobic, motile bacterium, was isolated from mangrove litterfall in Sundarbans mangrove. The draft genome is 5.5 Mbp in size with 49.45 mol% guanine-cytosine (GC) content. The linear chromosome of the bacterium consists of 27 contigs with 7339 coding sequences. The detailed in silico analyses of the genome of Mangrovibacter sp. SLW1 provide information on ecological adaptation. The genome is a reservoir for multiple heavy metals and metalloid resistance gene clusters as well as exhibit metabolic capabilities for utilization of a wide range of carbohydrates. It also encodes for tris-catecholate siderophore and can regulate uptake of iron thereby may influence plant growth such as mangrove vegetation.
