Delving deep into the draft genome of Mangrovibacter sp. SLW1, isolated from Sundarbans mangrove

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Mangrovibacter sp. SLW1, a gram-negative, aerobic, motile bacterium was isolated from mangrove litterfall in Sundarbans mangrove. The draft genome is 5.5 Mbp in size with 49.45 mol% GC content. The linear chromosome of the bacterium consists of 27 contigs with 7339 coding sequences. The genome investigation of Mangrovibacter sp. SLW1 through in depth insilico studies, provide various ecological information. The genome is a reservoir for multiple heavy metals and metalloids resistance gene clusters as well as exhibit metabolic capabilities to utilize a wide range of carbohydrates. It also encodes for tris-catecholate siderophore and this can regulate uptake of iron and plant growth such as for mangrove vegetation.
