Abstract
Genome sequences of sponge bacterial endophytes will be useful for understanding the bioactive compound synthetic potential and molecular mechanisms of sponge-bacteria interactions. In this study, the complete genome of the bacterium E9 isolated from the Red Sea sponge species was sequenced and its antibiofilm activity was assessed through laboratory assay. Experiments indicated the strong antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of the extracts of bacterium E9. Complete genome sequencing reveals that genome assembly generated a single chromosome of 2123451 base pairs with a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 32.9% with 2420 protein coding sequences and a gene/genome ratio of 83.7%. The bacterial strain was identified as Staphylococcus epidermidis based on phylogenetic analysis. A total of 9 biosynthetic gene clusters were identified in the genome using the open-source platform AntiSMASH. The observed antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of the strain E9 may be due the presence of gene clusters such as nonribosomal peptides, lasso peptides and terpenes. Overall, the whole genome analysis indicated the bacterium’s capability to adapt in diverse environments including invertebrate hosts, and bioactive compound synthesis.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Marine Science publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of all aspects of the environment, biology, ecosystem functioning and human interactions with the oceans. Field Chief Editor Carlos M. Duarte at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, policy makers and the public worldwide.
With the human population predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, it is clear that traditional land resources will not suffice to meet the demand for food or energy, required to support high-quality livelihoods. As a result, the oceans are emerging as a source of untapped assets, with new innovative industries, such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, marine energy and deep-sea mining growing rapidly under a new era characterized by rapid growth of a blue, ocean-based economy. The sustainability of the blue economy is closely dependent on our knowledge about how to mitigate the impacts of the multiple pressures on the ocean ecosystem associated with the increased scale and diversification of industry operations in the ocean and global human pressures on the environment. Therefore, Frontiers in Marine Science particularly welcomes the communication of research outcomes addressing ocean-based solutions for the emerging challenges, including improved forecasting and observational capacities, understanding biodiversity and ecosystem problems, locally and globally, effective management strategies to maintain ocean health, and an improved capacity to sustainably derive resources from the oceans.
