Abstract:
Peribacillus sp. R9-11, isolated from a marine sediment sample of the Arctic Ocean, can grow in mineral medium with polystyrene (PS) plastic as sole carbon source. Here, we present the complete genome of Peribacillus sp. R9-11, which will facilitate the genome mining of PS degrading enzymes. The total length of the sequenced genome consists of 6,288,471 bases, with mean G + C content of 37.93%. A total of 6447 coding genes including 84 tRNAs and 37 rRNAs were predicted in the genome. Some potential PS degrading enzymes including cytochrome P450s and peroxidases were found in this genome.
