Genomic analysis of a novel isolate Vreelandella Titanicae sp. Zn11_249 from the chaotropic environment Salar de Uyuni (Bolivia)
The genes involved in the metabolism of Vreelandella titanicae Zn11_249 enable it to live on in the extreme conditions of Salar de Uyuni. This bacterium plays a crucial role in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur. Its metabolic adaptability allows them to thrive under high salinity and harsh conditions, making it a key player in the transformation and mobility of essential elements. Although based on a single genome, this primally study provides a solid foundational framework for future transcriptomic, proteomic, and experimental investigations into the ecological role and biotechnological potential of Vreelandella titanicae Zn11_249. The authors confirm all supporting data, code, and protocols have been provided within the article or through Supporting Information data files.
