Genome sequence analysis of halophilic Luteibacter sp. CQ10 to prospect its dual roles in antioxidants production and lignocellulose degradation

Abstract

Luteibacter is a bacterial genus affiliated to Rhodanobacteraceae family with five species reported up to date. Currently, limited information regarding this genus was revealed, especially on its genomic perspective and its potential application. Here, we present the whole genome sequence of Luteibacter sp. CQ10, which the strain was isolated from mangrove bark collected at Tanjung Piai National Park, Johor, Malaysia. The genome of Luteibacter sp. CQ10 contains 30 contigs, with a genome size of 4.87 Mbp, a GC content of 66.44 % and a total of 4197 predicted genes. The preliminary analysis elucidated that a total of 10 and 22 annotated genes were predicted to participate in biosynthesis of antioxidants and production of lignocellulolytic enzymes, respectively. These biomolecules are beneficial to the food and biorefinery industries.
