Abstract:
Life surviving in extremely cold frozen environments has been largely uninvestigated. Here we described the draft genome of Marinomonas sp. BSi20584, isolated from Arctic sea ice in the Canada Basin. The assembled genome comprised 4.85Mb, with the G+C content of 42.6%. Single copy of rRNA operon was detected, which may increase fitness in cold and nutrient-limited environment. In addition, BSi20584 may also use universal strategies for cold adaptation as indicated by the genome. Abundant genes responsible for decomposition of aromatic hydrocarbons were detected, which suggested potential biotechnological applications. The first genomic analysis of Marinomonas in Arctic sea ice provided primary genetic information and encouraged further research on comparative genomics and biotechnological applications.
