Abstract

Marinobacter lipolyticus strain SM19, isolated from saline soil in Spain, is a moderately halophilic bacterium belonging to the class Gammaproteobacteria. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, which consists of a 4.0-Mb chromosome and which is able to produce the halophilic enzyme lipase LipBL.

Highlights

Marinobacter lipolyticus strain SM19, isolated from saline soil in Spain, is a moderately halophilic bacterium belonging to the class Gammaproteobacteria
Marinobacter lipolyticus is a moderately halophilic bacterium [3] isolated from saline soil in Cádiz, Spain [4], following a screening program that focused on isolating and characterizing halophilic bacteria that are capable of producing hydrolytic enzymes useful for biotechnological applications [5,6,7,8,9]
M. lipolyticus grows optimally at 7.5% NaCl, 37°C, and pH 7.5

Summary

Introduction

Marinobacter lipolyticus strain SM19, isolated from saline soil in Spain, is a moderately halophilic bacterium belonging to the class Gammaproteobacteria. The genus Marinobacter, within the class Gammaproteobacteria, family Alteromonadaceae, currently includes 33 species that are isolated mainly from saline or hypersaline environments (marine habitats, salterns, etc.) [1, 2]. Marinobacter lipolyticus is a moderately halophilic bacterium [3] isolated from saline soil in Cádiz, Spain [4], following a screening program that focused on isolating and characterizing halophilic bacteria that are capable of producing hydrolytic enzymes useful for biotechnological applications [5,6,7,8,9].
