The complete genome of Zunongwangia profunda SM-A87 reveals its adaptation to the deep-sea environment and ecological role in sedimentary organic nitrogen degradation
Abstract Background Zunongwangia profunda SM-A87, which was isolated from deep-sea sediment, is an aerobic, gram-negative bacterium that represents a new genus of Flavobacteriaceae.This is the first sequenced genome of a deep-sea bacterium from the phylum Bacteroidetes.Results The Z.profunda SM-A87 genome has a single 5 128 187-bp circular chromoso
