ABSTRACT
Biosurfactants are amphipathic molecules with high industrial values owing to their chemical properties and stability under several environmental conditions. They have become attractive microbial products in the emerging biotechnology industry, offering a potential environmentally-friendly alternative to synthetic surfactants. Nowadays, several types of biosurfactants are commercially available for a wide range of applications in healthcare, agriculture, oil extraction and environmental remediation. In this study, a marine bacterium Bacillus velezensis L2D39 with the capability of producing biosurfactants was successfully isolated and characterized. The complete genome sequence of the bacterium B. velezensis L2D39 was obtained using PacBio Sequel HGAP.4, resulting in a sequence consisting of 4,140,042 base pairs with a 46.2 mol% G + C content and containing 4071 protein-coding genes. The presence of gene clusters associated with biosurfactants was confirmed through antiSMASH detection. The analysis of complete genome sequence will provide insight into the potential applications of this bacterium in biotechnological and natural product biosynthesis.
