Abstract

Gilvimarinus sp. DA14, a putative new species isolated from mangrove sediment in the South China Sea (Beihai, Guangxi province), is an aerobic and heterotrophic agar degrading bacterium. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of strain DA14, which comprises 3.96 Mb sequences with 53.39% GC content. In total, 3391 CDSs, 6 rRNA genes and 44 tRNA genes were obtained. Genomic analysis of strain DA14 revealed that 218 CAZymes classes were identified and they were organized in 371 CAZymes in PULs involved in polysaccharides degradation, transport and regulation. Further, we performed the genome comparison among Gilvimarinus strains and analysis the diversity of CAZymes and PULs. Meanwhile, ability of agar and alginate degradation in strain DA14 were analyzed. This study represents a thorough genomic characterization of CAZymes repertoire of Gilvimarinus, provides insight into diversity of polysaccharide degrading enzymes existing in Gilvimarinus sp. DA14 and their biotechnological applications.
