Abstract
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Rhodovulum robiginosum DSM 12329T, an anoxygenic phototroph isolated from a marine sediment in the North Sea (Jadebusen, Germany). This is the first genome for a marine photoferrotrophic bacterium, and it provides a genetic basis to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of photoferrotrophy in future studies.
Highlights
We report the draft genome sequence of Rhodovulum robiginosum DSM 12329T, an anoxygenic phototroph isolated from a marine sediment in the North Sea (Jadebusen, Germany)
NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) identified a total of 3,653 genes, 3,557 protein-coding genes, 47 pseudogenes, and 43 tRNAs
Heme containing cytochrome c proteins are known to be involved in photoferrotrophy in related bacteria (8, 9)
Summary
We report the draft genome sequence of Rhodovulum robiginosum DSM 12329T, an anoxygenic phototroph isolated from a marine sediment in the North Sea (Jadebusen, Germany). NCBI PGAP identified a total of 3,653 genes, 3,557 protein-coding genes, 47 pseudogenes, and 43 tRNAs. Based on the RAST functional annotation, the genome includes genes for respiration, photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and the metabolism of aromatic compounds. The annotated genome encodes photosystem II and various reductases involved in anaerobic respiration, such as nitrate reductase and tetrathionate reductase.
