Abstract

Here we present the physiological features of Pseudomonas extremaustralis strain USBA-GBX-515 (CMPUJU 515), isolated from soils in Superparamo ecosystems, > 4000 m.a.s.l, in the northern Andes of South America, as well as the thorough analysis of the draft genome. Strain USBA-GBX-515 is a Gram-negative rod shaped bacterium of 1.0-3.0 μm × 0.5-1 μm, motile and unable to form spores, it grows aerobically and cells show one single flagellum. Several genetic indices, the phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the phenotypic characterization confirmed that USBA-GBX-515 is a member of Pseudomonas genus and, the similarity of the 16S rDNA sequence was 100% with P. extremaustralis strain CT14-3T. The draft genome of P. extremaustralis strain USBA-GBX-515 consisted of 6,143,638 Mb with a G + C content of 60.9 mol%. A total of 5665 genes were predicted and of those, 5544 were protein coding genes and 121 were RNA genes. The distribution of genes into COG functional categories showed that most genes were classified in the category of amino acid transport and metabolism (10.5%) followed by transcription (8.4%) and signal transduction mechanisms (7.3%). We performed experimental analyses of the lipolytic activity and results showed activity mainly on short chain fatty acids. The genome analysis demonstrated the existence of two genes, lip515A and est515A, related to a triacylglycerol lipase and carboxylesterase, respectively. Ammonification genes were also observed, mainly nitrate reductase genes. Genes related with synthesis of poly-hydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), especially poly-hydroxybutyrates (PHBs), were detected. The phaABC and phbABC operons also appeared complete in the genome. P. extremaustralis strain USBA-GBX-515 conserves the same gene organization of the type strain CT14-3T. We also thoroughly analyzed the potential for production of secondary metabolites finding close to 400 genes in 32 biosynthetic gene clusters involved in their production.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 December 2017.
All research outputs
#16,053,755
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Microbiome
#459
of 786 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#251,157
of 444,243 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Microbiome
#8
of 16 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 786 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.8. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 444,243 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 16 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
