Complete genome sequence of Devosia beringensis S02T, a type strain with genes involved in deoxynivalenol degradation

Abstract

Members of the genus Devosia are known for their abilities to degrade deoxynivalenol (DON). The type strain Devosia beringensis S02^T (= JCM 33772 = CCTCC AB 2019343) was isolated from sediment of the Bering Sea and identified in 2021. However, the genome sequence of D. beringensis S02^T remains unclear, which complicates the exploration into the function and ecological role of this strain in marine sediment. The genome of D. beringensis S02^T contained a 4,048,765 bp chromosome with a G + C content of 63.84 mol%. Potential genes involved in DON degradation were found in the genome. In addition, multiple genes involved in polysaccharide degradation, including agarose, chitin, carrageen, pectate, starch, and xylan, were also annotated in the genome. These findings indicated the potential of strain S02^T to be used for DON degradation and its ecological function in the carbon cycle in marine sediment.
