Deinococcus xibeiensis strain R13, isolated from radiation-contaminated soils, synthesizes a unique ketocarotenoid, deinoxanthin. Here, we present a 3.49-Mb assembly of its genome sequence, which can help us find the key genes of the deinoxanthin biosynthesis pathways and modify genes obtaining a high yield of the new carotenoid.
从受辐射污染的土壤中分离出的西北异常球菌菌株R13能合成一种独特的酮类胡萝卜素——脱氧叶黄素。在此,我们展示了其基因组序列的3.49兆碱基组装结果,这有助于我们找到脱氧叶黄素生物合成途径的关键基因,并通过修饰基因来获得高产的新类胡萝卜素。
