Here we report the comparative genomic analysis of strain
UJ101 with 15 strains from the family Flavobacteriaceae,
using the CGExplorer program. Flavobacteriales bacterium
strain UJ101 was isolated from a xanthid crab, Atergatis reticulatus,
from the East Sea near Korea. The complete genome
of strain UJ101 is a 3,074,209 bp, single, circular chromosome
with 30.74% GC content. While the UJ101 genome
contains a number of annotated genes for many metabolic
pathways, such as the Embden–Meyerhof pathway, the pentose
phosphate pathway, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle,
and the glyoxylate cycle, genes for the Entner-Douddoroff
pathway are not found in the UJ101 genome. Overall, carbon
fixation processes were absent but nitrate reduction and
denitrification pathways were conserved. The UJ101 genome
was compared to genomes from other marine animals (three
invertebrate strains and 5 fish strains) and other marine animal-
derived genera. Notable results by genome comparisons
showed that UJ101 is capable of denitrification and nitrate
reduction, and that biotin-thiamine pathway participation
varies among marine bacteria; fish-dwelling bacteria, freeliving
bacteria, invertebrate-dwelling bacteria, and strain
UJ101. Pan-genome analysis of the 16 strains in this study
included 7,220 non-redundant genes that covered 62% of
the pan-genome. A core-genome of 994 genes was present
and consisted of 8% of the genes from the pan-genome. Strain
UJ101 is a symbiotic hetero-organotroph isolated from xanthid
crab, and is a metabolic generalist with nitrate-reducing
abilities but without the ability to synthesize biotin. There
is a general tendency of UJ101 and some fish pathogens to
prefer thiamine-dependent glycolysis to gluconeogenesis. Biotin
and thiamine auxotrophy or prototrophy may be used
as important markers in microbial community studies.
