Comparative Genomics Reveals Evidence of the Genome Reduction and Metabolic Potentials of <i>Aliineobacillus hadale</i> Isolated from Challenger Deep Sediment of the Mariana Trench by Shaofeng Yang, Jie Liu, Yang Liu, Weichao Wu, Jiahua Wang, Yuli Wei

“…Genomic analysis reveals a streamlined genome in the organism, characterized by a significant loss of orthologous genes, including those involved in cytochrome c synthesis, aromatic compound degradation, and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis, which suggests its adaptation to low oxygen levels and oligotrophic conditions through alternative metabolic pathways. In addition, the reduced number of paralogous genes in strain Lsc_1132^T, together with its high protein-coding gene density, may further contribute to streamlining its genome and enhancing its genomic efficiency. …”
