Their natural habitats are located in the western provinces of China. The giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an endangered species with a population of less than 2,500 in the wild and approximately 200 in zoological institutions across the world. oxytoca HKOPL1 has the potential for biofuel application in terms of cellulose degradation and potential for the production of 2,3-Butanediol (an important industrial raw material). These studies have provided further insight into the role of gut microbiota in giant panda digestive physiology.
We report here the first complete genome sequence of K. oxytoca HKOPL1 is a gram-negative bacterium able to degrade cellulose. oxytoca HKOPL1 can degrade cellulose within 72 hours. oxytoca HKOPL1 and other Klebsiella strains. A total of 5,772 genes were predicted, and among them, 211 potential virulence genes, 35 pathogenicity island-like regions, 1,615 potential horizontal transferring genes, 23 potential antibiotics resistant genes, a potential prophage integrated region, 8 genes in 2,3-Butanediol production pathway and 3 genes in the cellulose degradation pathway could be identified and discussed based on the comparative genomic studies between the complete genome sequence of K. oxytoca species have also been performed. Genome comparisons within the Klebsiella genus and K. ResultsĪ complete genome of isolated Klebsiella oxytoca HKOPL1 of 5.9 Mb has been successfully sequenced, closed and comprehensively annotated against various databases. To explore this phenomenon, we study the giant panda’s gut microbiota using genomic approaches in order to better understand their physiological processes as well as any potential microbial cellulose digestion processes. However, the giant panda’s draft genome shows no direct evidence of enzymatic genes responsible for cellulose digestion. The giant panda ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is an endangered species well-known for ingesting bamboo as a major part of their diet despite the fact that it belongs to order Carnivora.
