Draft genome of Paraperlucidibaca sp. CMO1 isolated from marine oil snow in the Churchill Marine Observatory, MB, Canada
An oil-degrading enrichment culture was inoculated from Marine Oil Snow (MOS) collected during an oil-spill experiment at the Churchill Marine Observatory in winter 2024. The complete metagenome-assembled genome for Paraperlucidibaca sp. CMO1 was reconstructed, exhibiting the genetic potential to degrade hydrocarbons, including alkanes and aromatic compounds, as well as the ability to produce…
