Micrococcus Luteus Genomic Analysis of 12 Strains

100 genomes of Micrococcus luteus were retrieved from NCBI, with 12 strains selected for analysis. Their genome size ranged from 2.4 to 2.8 Mb, containing genes for plant growth promotion and heavy metal resistance. Ashutosh Kabiraj published this analysis on figshare in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify niche-specific adaptations based on ANI values and isolation sources.
• Analyze plant-growth-promoting traits based on tryptophan biosynthesizing genes.
• Study heavy-metal resistance mechanisms based on arsenic, mercury, and copper homeostasis genes.
• Investigate genomic plasticity based on the presence of genomic islands, prophages, and insertion sequences.

Strengths

• Analysis includes 12 strains from six different isolation sources.
• Genome sizes are quantified, ranging from 2.4 to 2.8 Mb.
• Functional annotation identified 15,444 KEGG orthologs and 6,022 Pfam domains.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary data file is a DOCX document, which may require conversion or parsing.
