Abstract
Rhodopseudomonas species are purple nonsulfur bacteria found in many environments and known for their diverse metabolic capabilities. Here, we report the genome sequence of Rhodopseudomonas rutila type strain R1 and a whole-genome nucleotide comparison of related Rhodopseudomonas palustris species, suggesting the necessity for future reevaluation of the Rhodopseudomonas species differentiation.
Highlights
Rhodopseudomonas species are purple nonsulfur bacteria found in many environments and known for their diverse metabolic capabilities
All the other Rhodopseudomonas genomes are below the 95% species cutoff, including the Rhodopseudomonas palustris type strain 2.1.6
Based on our current analysis, strains R1, CG009, TIE, and ELI1980 all belong to R. rutila, while only strains 2.1.6 and B5 remain within the confines of the R. palustris species
Summary
Rhodopseudomonas species are purple nonsulfur bacteria found in many environments and known for their diverse metabolic capabilities. Several nominal Rhodopseudomonas strains have been sequenced since 2004 [6,7,8,9].
