Abstract

Paenibacillus is widely distributed in various environments and has the potential for use as a biotechnological agent in industrial processes. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the marine bacterium, Paenibacillus xylanexedens PAMC 22703, which utilizes xylan. The P. xylanexedens PAMC 22703 strain was isolated from marine sediments. P. xylanexedens PAMC 22703 utilizes xylan as a carbon source to grow. The genome sequence clarified that this strain possesses genes for utilizing xylan. The complete genome sequence contained one chromosome (7,053,622 bp with 46.0% GC content) and one plasmid (44,617 bp with 44.1% C + G content). The genome harbored genes that fully deploy the xylan assimilation pathway. The complete genome sequence of P. xylanexedens PAMC 22703 would prove useful in acquiring information for its application with xylan in various industries.
