Abstract
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of the most abundant sulfur-containing organic compounds on the earth, which is an important carbon and sulfur source and plays an important role in the global sulfur cycle. Marine microorganisms are an important group involved in DMSP metabolism. The strain Cobetia sp. D5 was isolated from seawater samples in the Yellow Sea area of Qingdao during an algal bloom. There is still limited knowledge on the capacity of DMSP utilization of Cobetia bacteria. The study reports the whole genome sequence of Cobetia sp. D5 to understand its DMSP metabolism pathway. The genome of Cobetia sp. D5 consists of a circular chromosome with a length of 4,233,985 bp and the GC content is 62.56%. Genomic analysis showed that Cobetia sp. D5 contains a set of genes to transport and metabolize DMSP, which can cleave DMSP to produce dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and 3-Hydroxypropionyl-Coenzyme A (3-HP-CoA). DMS diffuses into the environment to enter the global sulfur cycle, whereas 3-HP-CoA is catabolized to acetyl CoA to enter central carbon metabolism. Thus, this study provides genetic insights into the DMSP metabolic processes of Cobetia sp. D5 during a marine algal bloom, and contributes to the understanding of the important role played by marine bacteria in the global sulfur cycle.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on all functional and evolutionary aspects of genes, chromatin, chromosomes and (meta)genomes of marine (and freshwater) organisms. It deals with new genome-enabled insights into the broader framework of environmental science. Topics within the scope of this journal include:
• Population genomics and ecology
• Evolutionary and developmental genomics
• Comparative genomics
• Metagenomics
• Environmental genomics
• Systems biology
More specific topics include: geographic and phylogenomic characterization of aquatic organisms, metabolic capacities and pathways of organisms and communities, biogeochemical cycles, genomics and integrative approaches applied to microbial ecology including (meta)transcriptomics and (meta)proteomics, tracking of infectious diseases, environmental stress, global climate change and ecosystem modelling.
