Characteristics of Planococcus antioxidans sp. nov., an antioxidant ‐producing strain isolated from the desert soil in the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

In conclusion, the strain Y74T (=JCM 32826T = CICC24461T) represents a novel member of the genusPlanococcus, for which the namePlanococcus antioxidans sp. nov. is proposed. Strain Y74T was found to have potent antioxidant activity via its hydrogen peroxide tolerance and its 1,1 ‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical‐scavenging activity. The DPPH radical‐scavenging activity was determined to be 40.2 ± 0.7%. The genomic analysis indicated that six peroxidases genes, one superoxide dismutase gene, and one dprA (DNA‐protecting protein) are present in the geno me of Y74T.
