Summary

This paper reports the complete genome sequence of a quorum-sensing bacterium, providing genetic information relevant to understanding microbial communication and potential interactions with plastic surfaces in the environment. Bacteria that colonize plastic debris may play roles in plastic degradation or toxin transfer.

PVC

Oceanicola sp. strain D3 was isolated from the plastisphere of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in coastal water of Qingdao, China. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of strain D3, which consists of a chromosome of 3,926,685 bp with a G+C content of 64.49% and 4,964 coding DNA sequences. This is the first report of a quorum-sensing (QS) system in an Oceanicola sp. strain.
