Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Sagittula sp. SSi028 was isolated from the globally distributed brown alga Sargassum ilicifolium , which is the most abundant seaweed in Singapore. Its genome contains genes for two dimethylsulfoniopropionate assimilation pathways, degradation of lignin-related aromatic compounds, biosynthesis of multiple vitamin Bs, and luxI-luxR homologs associated with quorum sensing.
