Abstract
Bacteria from the Mucilaginibacter genus are still poorly understood, although their importance has been shown by recent reports describing great quantities of biofilms produced in their colonies. We report the draft genome sequence of a novel Mucilaginibacter member, comprising 8 contigs, totaling 5,478,589 bp and 4,876 predicted coding sequences.
Highlights
Bacteria from the Mucilaginibacter genus are still poorly understood, their importance has been shown by recent reports describing great quantities of biofilms produced in their colonies
The Mucilaginibacter genus belongs to the Bacteroidetes phylum and the Sphingobacteriaceae family, and was first described in 2007 [1]
Little is known about this genus and their enzymes, but some are biofilm-producing bacteria and have enzymes responsible for the disruption of polysaccharides [1, 3]
Summary
Bacteria from the Mucilaginibacter genus are still poorly understood, their importance has been shown by recent reports describing great quantities of biofilms produced in their colonies. The Mucilaginibacter genus belongs to the Bacteroidetes phylum and the Sphingobacteriaceae family, and was first described in 2007 [1]. The members of this genus are facultative aerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, and have been found in aquatic, terrestrial, and acidic habitats [1, 2].
