AbstractAbstract PDF
The actinobacterial group is regarded as a reservoir of biologically active natural products and hydrolytic enzymes with the potential for biomedical and industrial applications. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Isoptericola dokdonensis DS-3 isolated from soil in Dokdo, small islets in the East Sea of Korea. This actinomycete harbors a large number of genes encoding carbohydrate-degrading enzymes, and its activity to degrade carboxymethyl cellulose into glucose was experimentally evaluated. Since the genus Isoptericola was proposed after reclassification based on phylogenetic analysis, strains of Isoptericola have been continuously isolated from diverse environments and the importance of this genus in the ecosystem has been suggested by recent culturomic or metagenomic studies. The phylogenic relationships of the genus tended to be closer among strains that had been isolated from similar habitats. By analyzing the properties of published genome sequences of seven defined species in the genus, a large number of genes for carbohydrate hydrolysis and utilization, as well as several biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites, were identified. Genomic information of I. dokdonensis DS-3 together with comparative analysis of the genomes of Isoptericola provides insights into understanding this actinobacterial group with a potential for industrial applications.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Flavobacteriaceae, are typically isolated from marine environments. Polaribacter dokdonensis DSW-5, the type strain of the species, is a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the East Sea of Korea. Whole genome shotgun sequencing was performed with the HiSeq 2000 platform and paired-end reads were generated at 188-fold coverage. The sequencing reads were assembled into two contigs with a total length of 3.08 Mb. The genome sequences of DSW-5 contain 2,776 proteincoding sequences and 41 RNA genes. Comparison of average nucleotide identities among six available Polaribacteria genomes including DSW-5 suggested that the DSW-5 genome is most similar to that of Polaribacter sp. MED152, which is a proteorhodopsin-containing marine bacterium. A phylogenomic analysis of the six Polaribacter strains and 245 Flavobacteriaceae bacteria confirmed a close relationship of the genus Polaribacter with Tenacibaculum and Kordia. DSW-5’s genome has a gene encoding proteorhodopsin and genes encoding 85 enzymes belonging to carbohydrate-active enzyme families and involved in polysaccharide degradation, which may play important roles in energy metabolism of the bacterium in the marine ecosystem. With genes for 238 CAZymes and 203 peptidases, DSW-5 has a relatively high number of degrading enzymes for its genome size suggesting its characteristics as a free-living marine heterotroph.
