Abstract

Abstract: The whole genome of Synechococcus moorigangaii CMS01 isolated from Indian Sundarbans mangroves of Bay of Bengal is about 5.5 Mbp in size and contains approximately 0.5 Mbp plasmids. Genome annotation revealed total of 5806 genes out of which 5701 were CDSs. Of these, 5616 coding genes with 5616 protein coding CDSs were found. Along with genes coding for essential metabolic proteins, transport proteins and other cellular apparatus, genome also codes for proteins involved in flagella and pilus formation which has not been widely reported before in any coastal species of Synechococcus . The genome contains one incomplete prophage sequence. The genome analysis revealed adaptive features of S . moorigangaii CMS01 and establishes its ubiquitous distribution in coastal water of Bay of Bengal.
