Abstract
Microbacterium fakhimi sp. nov. has been isolated from a contaminated algal culture (Chlamydomonas reinhardtii). Its genome has been fully sequenced (3,753,259 base pairs) and a tentative annotation is provided (3,704 genes). Both, genome information and growth tests suggest that M. fakhimi sp. nov. is auxotroph for biotin and thiamine and unable to use sulfate as sulfur (S) source. S-reduced forms, such as methionine and cysteine can support M. fakhimi sp. nov. growth. The potential biotechnological interest of this bacteria is discussed here and in a related research paper (Fakhimi et al., 2023b).
