Complete genome sequence of the xylan-degrading Mucilaginibacter sp. strain PAMC26640 isolated from an Arctic lichen

Abstract

<em>Mucilaginibacter</em> sp. PAMC26640 is a xylan-degrading bacterium isolated from the Arctic lichen <em>Stereo-caulon</em> sp. Here, we present the first complete genome sequence of <em>Mucilaginibacter</em> sp. strain PAMC26640, which contains several genes involved in xylan utilization. This genome information provides new insights into the genetic basis of its physiology and further analysis of key metabolic genes related to the xylan degradation pathway.
