TL;DR
This paper reports the full genome sequence of a carotenoid-producing bacterium from a saltwater environment in Portugal.
Contribution
The study provides the whole genome sequence of Paracoccus sp. NFXS7, a marine bacterium with potential for biotech due to its carotenoid production.
Findings
The genome of Paracoccus sp. NFXS7 was fully sequenced.
The bacterium contains genes related to astaxanthin biosynthesis.
Abstract
The study presents the whole genome sequence of the carotenoid-producing Paracoccus sp. NFXS7, isolated from a marine saltern in Setúbal, Portugal. The carotenoid-producing strain NFXS7 contains homologs of the crt genes involved in astaxanthin biosynthesis, making it a promising candidate for biotechnological applications.
