The mechanisms underlying the survival of bacteria in low temperature and high radiation are not yet fully understood. Nakamurella sp. PAMC28650 was isolated from a glacier of Rwenzori Mountain, Uganda, which species belonged to Nakamurella genus based on 16S rRNA phylogeny, ANI (average nucleotide identity), and BLAST Ring Image Generator (BRIG) analysis among Frankineae suborder. We conducted the whole genome sequencing and comparative genomics of Nakamurella sp. PAMC28650, to understand the genomic features pertaining to survival in cold environment, along with high UV (ultraviolet) radiation. This study highlights the role of polysaccharide in cold adaptation, mining of the UV protection-related secondary metabolites and other related to cold adaptation mechanism through different bioinformatics tools, and providing a brief overview of the genes present in DNA repair systems. Nakamurella sp. PAMC28650 contained glycogen and cellulose metabolism pathways, mycosporine-like amino acids and isorenieratene-synthesizing gene cluster, and a number of DNA repair systems. Also, the genome analysis showed osmoregulation-related genes and cold shock proteins. We infer these genomic features are linked to bacterial survival in cold and UV radiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
