Refining Salinivibrio pangenome dynamics and biotechnological potential through comparative analysis

Eight complete Salinivibrio genomes from Pearse Lakes are generated using Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing and seven putative depolymerases that form a single accessory cluster in 15% of strains are identified, showing that annotation-dependent approaches can overlook genomic diversity and divergent enzyme families in non-model organisms.
