Abstract:
We isolated a novel bacterial strain Acinetobacter sp. P1332 from the pufferfish Takifugu oblongus in the southeastern coast of Fujian Province, China. This strain has been identified as a potent producer of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin (TTX). In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of Acinetobacter sp. P1332, which is a crucial advancement in identifying the genetic factors involved in TTX biosynthesis. The genome spans 4,017,868 base pairs and has a mean G + C content of 41.3 %. It encodes 3944 genes, along with 90 tRNAs and 21 rRNAs. This detailed genomic information provides an essential resource for further research into the biosynthetic pathways of TTX and its applications in biotechnology and toxinology.
