Abstract
Paenibacillus sp. strain IHB B 3415 is a cellulase-producing psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from a soil sample from the cold deserts of Himachal Pradesh, India. Here, we report an 8.44-Mb assembly of its genome sequence with a G+C content of 50.77%. The data presented here will provide insights into the mechanisms of cellulose degradation at low temperature.
Highlights
Low-temperature environments are inhabited by coldadapted microorganisms, psychrotrophs and psychrophiles
During our exploration of the microbial diversity associated with the soils of cold environments of Himachal Pradesh, India, we isolated a Paenibacillus strain, IHB B 3415, which produces cellulase at low temperature
We used SSPACE version 3.0 [4] to extend and merge the resulting scaffolds based on read-pair information and short overlaps to reduce the number of scaffolds
Summary
Low-temperature environments are inhabited by coldadapted microorganisms, psychrotrophs and psychrophiles. These cold-adapted microorganisms are sources of commercially and industrially important enzymes, including cellulases [1]. During our exploration of the microbial diversity associated with the soils of cold environments of Himachal Pradesh, India, we isolated a Paenibacillus strain, IHB B 3415, which produces cellulase at low temperature. This bacterium appears to be most closely related to Paenibacillus borealis KK19T based on a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.
