Abstract
A Rhodobacterales bacterium, Sulfitobacter sp. strain D7, was isolated from an Emiliania huxleyi bloom in the North Atlantic and has been shown to act as a pathogen and induce cell death of E. huxleyi during lab coculturing. We report here its complete genome sequence comprising one chromosome and five low-copy-number plasmids.

The complete genome sequence consists of six circular replicons (Table 1), including one 3,371,091-bp chromosome with an average GC content of 61.4% and five plasmids of between 81 and 193 kb that show low or single copy numbers characteristic of Volume 7 Issue 19 e01379-18
