First high quality draft genome sequence of a plant growth promoting and cold active enzyme producing psychrotrophic Arthrobacter agilis strain L77

Abstract

Arthrobacter agilis strain L77, is a plant growth promoting and cold active hydrolytic enzymes producing psychrotrophic bacterium, isolated from Pangong Lake, a subglacial lake in north western Himalayas, India. Genome analysis revealed metabolic versatility with genes involved in metabolism and cold shock adaptation, utilization and biosynthesis of diverse structural and storage polysaccharides such as plant based carbon polymers. The genome of Arthrobacter agilis strain L77 consists of 3,608,439 bp (3.60 Mb) of a circular chromosome. The genome comprises of 3316 protein coding genes and 74 RNA genes, 725 hypothetical proteins, 25 pseudo-genes and 1404 unique genes.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40793-016-0176-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Stoichiometric Shifts in Soil C:N:P Promote Bacterial Taxa Dominance, Maintain Biodiversity, and Deconstruct Community Assemblages

“…Arthrobacter strains can respond quickly to changes in nutrient conditions by breaking dormancy and growing within an hour of the removal of starvation stress ( Soyanikova et al, 2017 ). Compared to temperate Arthrobacter species, Antarctic Arthrobacter possess lower metabolic versatility ( Dsouza et al, 2015 ) but similar genes to many psychrophilic/psychrotolerant species (e.g., cold active hydrolytic enzymes; sigma factors; signal transduction pathways; carotenoid biosynthesis pathway; and genes induced by cold-shock, oxidative, and osmotic stresses ( Dsouza et al, 2015 ; Singh et al, 2016 ). Further, our unclassified Arthrobacter OTU falls within a genus whose members readily decompose almost any algal and cyanobacterial bioproducts, from cyanotoxins ( Lawton et al, 2011 ) to cellobiose, the final derivative of cellulose utilization ( Schellenberger et al, 2011 ).…”

Whole-Genome Sequences of Two Arthrobacter sp. Strains, 4041 and 4042, Potentially Usable in Agriculture and Environmental Depollution

“…( Actinobacteria ) are Gram-positive soil bacteria, appearing in a rod or coccoid shape ( 1 ), which grow under aerobic and anaerobic conditions ( 1 ). They are present in Antarctic ( 2 ) and desert ( 3 ) soils and in alkaline and subglacial lakes ( 4 , 5 ), and some species are known to promote plant growth ( 5 – 8 ), to inhibit plant-pathogenic bacteria and fungi or wood-decaying fungi ( 7 , 9 ), and to degrade a wide range of organic and polyaromatic pollutants ( 4 , 10 , 11 ).…”

Biodiversity and biotechnological applications of halophilic microbes for sustainable agriculture

“…In another plant growth, mechanisms of in-direct by the production of ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, siderophore (Fe-chelating compounds), and other secondary metabolites which elicits plant defense against different plant pathogens also help in plant growth under harsh saline environments [26,32,33] ( Table 1). The halophilic/halotolerant may promote plant growth in terms of increased multifunctional PGP attributes, could be used as biofertilizers or bioseedling germination rates, roots and shoot length, biomass, nitrogen, inoculants which will be finally fit into long-term for high yield and phosphorus and potassium (NPK) content, chlorophyll content, protein soil fertility for sustainable agriculture.…”
