Flavobacterium sp. PL002 Genome sequencing
Flavobacterium sp. strain PL002 is an Antarctic bacterium isolated from Porphyra algae, known for its cold-active aldehyde dehydrogenase (S2-ALDH), a useful enzyme for measuring acetaldehyde at low temperatures, and for its draft genome sequence. The bacterium's enzymes and its genomic information have been studied to understand its adaptation to cold environments and for biotechnological applications, such as in wine analysis.
