Micrococcus Luteus Genomic Features from 12 Strains

100 contamination-free genomes of Micrococcus luteus were retrieved from NCBI, with 12 strains selected for analysis. The dataset includes annotations for genome size, plant-growth-promoting genes, heavy-metal resistance genes, genomic islands, insertion sequences, and prophages. It was authored by Ashutosh Kabiraj and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze niche-specific adaptation based on ANI values and isolation sources mentioned in the description
• Identify plant-growth-promoting traits based on tryptophan biosynthesizing genes and aes family proteins
• Study heavy-metal resistance mechanisms based on arsenic, mercury, and copper homeostasis genes
• Investigate genomic plasticity based on the presence of genomic islands, insertion sequences, and prophages
• Assess antibiotic sensitivity profiles based on the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database analysis

Strengths

• Includes 12 strains from six different isolation sources, providing comparative context
• Genome size range (2.4 to 2.8 Mb) and counts of genomic islands (21–37) and insertion sequences (28 to 76) are specified
• 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
