Complete Genome Sequencing of Polar Arthrobacter sp. PAMC25284, Copper Tolerance Potential Unraveled with Genomic Analysis by Jayram Karmacharya, Prasansah Shrestha, So-Ra Han, Hyun Park, Tae-Jin Oh

“…The strain PAMC25284 genome consists of a circular chromosome with a GC content of 65.6% and is projected to contain 3,588 genes, of which 3,150 are protein coding, 366 are pseudogenes, 19 are rRNA coding, and 50 are tRNA coding genes. Using comparative genomics, we showed that PMAC25284 has copper-transporting ATPases, copper chaperone, copper-responsive transcriptional regulator, and multi-copper oxidase domains, which are found in both Gram-positive (like Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Enterococcus hirae) and Gram-negative bacteria (like E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). …”
