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.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on all functional and evolutionary aspects of genes, chromatin, chromosomes and (meta)genomes of marine (and freshwater) organisms. It deals with new genome-enabled insights into the broader framework of environmental science. Topics within the scope of this journal include:
• Population genomics and ecology
• Evolutionary and developmental genomics
• Comparative genomics
• Metagenomics
• Environmental genomics
• Systems biology
More specific topics include: geographic and phylogenomic characterization of aquatic organisms, metabolic capacities and pathways of organisms and communities, biogeochemical cycles, genomics and integrative approaches applied to microbial ecology including (meta)transcriptomics and (meta)proteomics, tracking of infectious diseases, environmental stress, global climate change and ecosystem modelling.
