Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTextile industrial effluents, notably from large clusters such as Jetpur in Gujarat, India, present a formidable challenge due to their high content of recalcitrant azo dyes, heavy metals, and organic pollutants, often overwhelming conventional physicochemical treatment. This study presents the whole-genome sequencing and functional annotation of Enterococcus casseliflavus strain CV10, isolated from the Jetpur Common Effluent Treatment Plant, a bacterium demonstrating potent dye biodegradation capacity. The assembled 3.5 Mb genome exhibited 98.7% completeness and revealed an array of genes and pathways supporting both reductive and oxidative dye biodegradation, including NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductases, FMN-dependent azoreductases, peroxidases, multicopper oxidases, and alkanesulfonate monooxygenases. KEGG and COG analyses enriched for ABC transporters and pathways of aromatic compound metabolism, oxidative stress response, and xenobiotic degradation. AntiSMASH analysis identified secondary metabolite biosynthetic clusters for redox-active phenazines and protective carotenoids, suggesting adaptive advantages in harsh, pollutant-rich environments. Phylogenomic analysis confirmed close relatedness to reference E. casseliflavus strains. Altogether, these features underpin metabolic versatility, robust stress tolerance, and advanced regulatory mechanisms, positioning E. casseliflavus CV10 as a promising candidate for genome-informed bioaugmentation strategies in textile wastewater treatment. This work extends the genomic foundation for leveraging specialized bacteria in bioremediation, advancing sustainable and efficient remediation practices for complex industrial effluents.PMID:42228383 | DOI:10.1080/10934529.2026.2682090
