Draft genome of starch-degrading actinobacterium, Microbacterium mangrovi MUSC 115T isolated from intertidal sediments

Microbacterium mangrovi strain MUSC 115T was isolated from intertidal sediments of Kuantan, Malaysia. Here we describe the draft genome of amylolytic strain MUSC 115T with total size of 4.4 Mbp from 55 contigs and G + C content of 70.0%. Total of 4,096 coding genes were observed, with 2 putative amylases genes in the draft genome of MUSC 115T. These genome features of MUSC 115T can improve our understanding of its starch-degrading mechanism and general physiology of the species, which provide opportunities for biotechnological and industrial exploitation.
