Abstract

Thermophilic, facultatively anaerobic, xylanolytic bacterial strain DA-C8 (=JCM34211 =DSM111723), newly isolated from compost, shows strong beechwood xylan degradation ability. Whole-genome sequencing of strain DA-C8 on the Ion GeneStudio S5 system yielded 69 contigs with a total size of 3,110,565 bp, 2,877 protein-coding sequences, and a G+C content of 52.3 mol%. Genome annotation revealed that strain DA-C8 possesses debranching enzymes, such as β-L-arabinofuranosidase and polygalacturonase, that are important for efficient degradation of xylan. As inferred from 16S rRNA sequences and average nucleotide identity values, the closest relatives of strain DA-C8 are Paenibacillus cisolokensis and P. chitinolyticus. The genomic data have been deposited at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) under accession number BMAQ00000000.
