YS9, an aerobic and chemoheterotrophic bacterium belonging to marine <em>Roseobacter</em> lineage, was a putative new species isolated from red algae <em>Eucheuma okamurai</em> in the South China Sea (Beihai, Guangxi province). The complete genome sequence in strain YS9 comprised one circular chromosome with 3,244,635 bp and five circular plasmids ranging from 38,085 to 748,160 bp, with a total length of 4.30 Mb and average GC content of 58.39%. In total, 4129 CDSs, 52 tRNA genes and 9 rRNA genes were obtained. Genomic analysis of strain YS9 revealed that 85 CAZymes were organized in 147 PUL-associated CAZymes involved in polysaccharides metabolism, which were the highest among its two closely related <em>Ruegeria</em> strains. Numerous PULs related to degradation on the cell wall of algae, especially agar, indicated its major player role in the remineralization of algal-derived carbon. Further, the existence of multiple plasmids provided strain YS9 with distinct advantages to facilitate its rapid environmental adaptation, including polysaccharide metabolism, denitrification, resistance to heavy metal stresses such as copper and cobalt, type IV secretion systems and type IV toxin-antitoxin systems, which were obviously different from the two <em>Ruegeria</em> strains. This study provides evidence for polysaccharide metabolic capacity and functions of five plasmids in strain YS9, broadening our understanding of the ecological roles of bacteria in the environment around red algae and the function patterns of plasmids in marine <em>Roseobacter</em> lineage members for environmental adaptation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18321,"journal":{"name":"Marine genomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10581017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
