Genome sequence of Gaetbulibacter sp. PBL-D1 isolated from a Malaysian beach: insights into glycoside hydrolase repertoires

The draft genome of Gaetbulibacter sp. PBL-D1 is 3,433,971 bp in size, has a G+C content of 33.0%, and encodes 3,068 protein-coding genes. The CAZymes analysis revealed that Gaetbulibacter genomes harboured at least nine putative GH-encoding genes, grouped into starch-degrading and β-glucan-degrading enzymes. These enzymes are of industrial importance, particularly in food processing and biofuel production. Collectively, PBL-D1 and other available Gaetbulibacter genomes serve as attractive sources of GH candidates that may be useful in polysaccharide degradation.
