Abstract
The whole genome of Saccharibacillus sp. strain WB 17, a bacterial strain isolated from wheat phyllosphere, has been sequenced. This microorganism is equipped with several carbohydrate-active enzymes, which would explain its ability to fractionate lignocellulose.
Highlights
The whole genome of Saccharibacillus sp. strain WB 17, a bacterial strain isolated from wheat phyllosphere, has been sequenced
Among microorganisms recovered from the phyllosphere, bacteria affiliated with the Paenibacillaceae family and the Saccharibacillus genus are present (2)
Saccharibacillus sp. strain WB 17 was recovered from the culture of a wheat bran phyllosphere sampled in January 2018 from the Champagne-Ardennes area of France
Summary
The whole genome of Saccharibacillus sp. strain WB 17, a bacterial strain isolated from wheat phyllosphere, has been sequenced. Strain WB 17, a bacterial strain isolated from wheat phyllosphere, has been sequenced. This microorganism is equipped with several carbohydrate-active enzymes, which would explain its ability to fractionate lignocellulose. The phyllosphere represents a unique niche in which microorganisms have acquired the ability to degrade lignocellulose (1) in order to survive oligotrophic conditions.
