Abstract
Erythrobacter flavus strain KJ5 (formerly called Erythrobacter sp. strain KJ5) is a yellowish marine bacterium that was isolated from a hard coral in the Karimunjawa Islands of Indonesia. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the bacterium and provide a useful resource for studies of the biosynthetic pathways of its unique carotenoids.
Highlights
Erythrobacter flavus strain KJ5 is a yellowish marine bacterium that was isolated from a hard coral in the Karimunjawa Islands of Indonesia
The complete genome sequence of strain KJ5 consists of a 2,819,202-bp circular chromosome with an average GϩC content of 63.92%
The synteny of the genes was highly similar between strain KJ5 and strain VG1 over the whole genomic sequences, which were analyzed by constructing a genome rearrangement map using amino acid sequences by Genome Traveler v.3.0.25 with default settings (In Silico Biology, Inc., Yokohama, Japan)
Summary
Erythrobacter flavus strain KJ5 (formerly called Erythrobacter sp. strain KJ5) is a yellowish marine bacterium that was isolated from a hard coral in the Karimunjawa Islands of Indonesia. The complete genome sequence of strain KJ5 consists of a 2,819,202-bp circular chromosome with an average GϩC content of 63.92%. Functional annotation revealed a total of 2,713 coding sequences, 48 tRNA genes, and 2 copies of the rRNA operons.
