Draft genome Sequence of Phosphate-Accumulating Bacterium Acinetobacter tandoii SC36 from a Mangrove Wetland Ecosystem Provides Insights into Elements of Phosphorus Removal

Abstract

Acinetobacter tandoii SC36 was isolated from a mangrove wetland ecosystem in the Dongzhaigang Nature Reserve in Haikou, China. This bacterium was found to have a capacity for polyphosphate accumulation. To provide insight into its phosphorus metabolism and facilitate its application in phosphorus removal, we developed a draft genome of this strain. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) annotation revealed three ppk genes and several phosphate metabolic related pathways in the genome of SC36. These genome data of Acinetobacter tandoii SC36 will facilitate elucidation of the mechanism of polyphosphate accumulation.
