Abstract
ABSTRACTThe proteobacterium Alteromonas sp. strain V450 was isolated from the Atlantic deep-sea sponge Leiodermatium sp. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, with a genome size of approx. 4.39 Mb and a G+C content of 44.01%. The results will aid deep-sea microbial ecology, evolution, and sponge-microbe association studies.
Highlights
The proteobacterium Alteromonas sp. strain V450 was isolated from the Atlantic deep-sea sponge Leiodermatium sp
The V450 genome is the first reported genome of an Alteromonas strain derived from a marine sponge
Genome sequences were obtained using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencing platform; the draft genome was obtained from 15 million reads of paired-end 125 (PE125) via assembling and optimization according to paired-end and overlap relationships
Summary
The proteobacterium Alteromonas sp. strain V450 was isolated from the Atlantic deep-sea sponge Leiodermatium sp. We report the draft genome sequence of a deep-sea Alteromonas sp. This strain was cultured using mucin-amended seawater from the Lithistid sponge Leiodermatium sp., the producer of the potent antimitotic agent leiodermatolide [6, 7]. The sponge was collected at a depth of 392.5 m on the Miami Terrace located in the southeast of Miami, FL [8].
