Complete genome and phenotypic characterization of Zobellella denitrificans MW1 reveal carbon source preferences and a phosphate-associated shift in polyhydroxybutyrate accumulation.
Zobellella denitrificans MW1 is a halotolerant, facultatively anaerobic bacterium with high poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) productivity that lacked a complete genome sequence. Here we report its first complete circular genome (4.10 Mb, 63.6% GC), obtained by hybrid Illumina-Nanopore assembly, with multi-scale cultivatio...
