Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus SP17 forms biofilms specifically at the interface between water and hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) that are used as carbon and energy sources. Biofilm formation at the HOC-water interface has been recognized as a strategy to overcome the low availability of these nearly water-insoluble substrates. Here, we present the genome sequence of SP17, which could provide further insights into the mechanisms of enhancement of HOCs assimilation through biofilm formation.
海栖油杆菌 SP17 特异性地在水和疏水性有机化合物(HOCs)的界面形成生物膜,这些 HOCs 被用作碳源和能源。在 HOC-水界面形成生物膜已被认为是克服这些几乎不溶于水的底物可用性低的策略。在这里,我们展示了 SP17 的基因组序列,这可以为通过生物膜形成增强 HOCs 同化的机制提供进一步的见解。
