Pseudomonas sp. TAE6080 Genome sequencing and assembly. Pseudomonas sp. TAE6080

Antarctic bacteria are capable of surviving under extreme environmental conditions and have adapted to exploit some of the most ephemeral nutrient pockets. Importantly, such strains have been often shown to be capable of synthesizing compounds of valuable biotechnological importance. Here we show that Pseudomonas sp. TAE6080, a possibly new bacterium isolated in 1994 during water column samplings near the French Antarctic station Dumont d Urville, is capable of inhibiting Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation.
