# Draft genome sequence of Marinobacter sp. DUT-3, a manganese-oxidizing and potential antibiotic-resistant bacterium from Bohai coastal sediments

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a manganese-oxidizing bacterium from coastal sediments, which may help in removing antibiotics and resisting them.

## Contribution

The study provides the first draft genome of Marinobacter sp. DUT-3, highlighting its potential for antibiotic resistance and removal.

## Key findings

- The genome contains 3,817 protein-coding genes across 24 contigs.
- The bacterium shows potential for synergistic antibiotic removal through manganese oxides.
- It exhibits intrinsic resistance to antibiotics.

## Abstract

A manganese-oxidizing bacterium, Marinobacter sp. DUT-3, was isolated from Bohai coastal sediments. A total of 24 contigs with GC content of 57.91% and 3,817 protein-coding genes were obtained by genome sequencing. Isolation of this strain suggests potential for synergistic antibiotics removal via biogenic manganese oxides and intrinsic resistance.
