Some Planococcus strains have attracted interest because they produce carotenoids of biotechnological significance, and therefore have potential as microbial sources for carotenoids that can be used as cosmetics ingredients, antioxidants, and food or feed additives. Recently, new biological functions of C₃₀ carotenoids, which has a backbone of 30 carbons, including stem cell proliferation activity were reported. A novel C₃₀ carotenoid-producing strain, Planococcus faecalis AJ003^T was isolated from faeces of Antarctic penguins. Reddish P. faecalis AJ003^T is aerobic, gram-positive and cocci. P. faecalis AJ003^T is capable of growing in a broad temperature range of −20 to 30 °C. P. faecalis AJ003^T synthesizes C₃₀ carotenoid glycosyl-4,4’-diaponeurosporen-4’-ol-4-oic acid. The genome of P. faecalis AJ003^T was sequenced in 1 SMRT cells using the Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) RS II single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing (Pacific Biosciences, CA) technology. After subreads filtering of raw data of PacBio RS II sequencer, 70,249 of long reads and 832,715,567 base pairs were generated. The complete genome of P. faecalisAJ003^Tis made up of a single circular chromosome (3,495,892 bp, 40.9% G+C content). Annotation using the RAST server reveals 3511 coding sequences and 99 RNAs. Functional annotation also reveals 6 pathway genes for the biosynthesis of glycosyl-4,4’-diaponeurosporen-4’-ol-4-oic acid.
