# Complete genome sequence of a member of a potentially novel genus within the family Opitutaceae isolated from a liquid medium used for co-cultivating duckweeds and river water-derived microbes **Authors:** Yosuke Morishita, Tomoki Iwashita, Manabu Kanno, Hideyuki Tamaki, Yoichi Kamagata, Tadashi Toyama, Kazuhiro Mori, Masaaki Morikawa, Yasuhiro Tanaka PMC · DOI: 10.1128/mra.00394-25 · Microbiology Resource Announcements · 2025-10-16 ## TL;DR This paper presents the full genome of a new bacterial strain that may belong to a previously unknown genus found in a liquid medium used for growing duckweeds and microbes. ## Contribution The paper introduces a potentially novel genus within Opitutaceae with a fully sequenced genome. ## Key findings - The genome of strain MRC-7 is 4,342,534 bp in size. - It contains 3,428 protein-coding sequences, some linked to pectin degradation. ## Abstract We report the complete genome sequence of strain MRC-7, which represents a potentially novel genus within the family Opitutaceae. The genome was 4,342,534 bp in size and contained 3,428 protein-coding sequences, several of which were predicted to be involved in pectin degradation. ## Linked entities - **Species:** Opitutaceae (taxon 134623) ## Full-text entities - **Genes:** GHS (Goldenhar syndrome) [NCBI Gene 7971] - **Chemicals:** Carbohydrate (MESH:D002241), sodium hypochlorite (MESH:D012973), pectin (MESH:D010368), Hoagland medium (-) - **Species:** Lemna (duckweed, genus) [taxon 4469], Rariglobus hedericola (species) [taxon 2597822], Opitutaceae (subdivision 4, family) [taxon 134623] - **Cell lines:** MRC-7 — Homo sapiens (Human), Finite cell line (CVCL_2628) ## Full text _Full body text omitted from this summary view._ Fetch the complete paper as Markdown: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12613999/full.md ## Figures 1 figure with captions in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12613999/full.md ## References 20 references — full list in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12613999/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC12613999
