Abstract
Shewanella algae strain C6G3, isolated from the 2 uppermost centimeters of muddy sediment of Arcachon Bay (SW Atlantic French coast, sampled in October 2007) has the capability to use a large panel of terminal electron acceptors under anaerobic condition, such as nitrate, nitrite and metal-oxide, and presents a great metabolic versatility. Here, we present the non-contiguous draft-genome sequence of Shewanella algae C6G3, which consists of a 4,879,425 bp. The chromosome contains 5792 predicted genes. In total, the genome consists of 24 rRNA genes, 86 tRNA genes and 5660 genes assigned as protein-coding genes.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40793-015-0022-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
Highlights
The genus Shewanella comprises several Gram-negative species which are widely distributed in marine and freshwater environments
Chemotaxonomic data The fatty acid analysis was performed on two strains of S. algae (C6G3, ATCC 51192T) and on S. oneidensis MR-1T (Additional file 1: Table S2)
Insights into the genome sequence Genome of S. algae C6G3 encodes genes for complete glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle
Summary
The genus Shewanella comprises several Gram-negative species which are widely distributed in marine and freshwater environments. Chemotaxonomic data The fatty acid analysis was performed on two strains of S. algae (C6G3, ATCC 51192T) and on S. oneidensis MR-1T (Additional file 1: Table S2). The C15:0 br is much lower in strain C6G3 (2.3 %) than in S. algae ATCC 51192T and S. oneidensis MR-1T
