Abstract
The Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium Jannaschia aquimarina GSW-M26 (DSM 28248) is a member of the Roseobacter clade. The size of the draft genome is 4.1 Mb. Genome analysis revealed the presence of genes encoding a complete gene transfer agent and aerobic anoxygenic photosynthesis. The latter indicated a photoheterotrophic lifestyle.
Highlights
The Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium Jannaschia aquimarina GSW-M26 (DSM 28248) is a member of the Roseobacter clade
A study of aerobic bacteriochlorophyll a-producing bacteria in the Baltic Sea showed that members of the genus Jannaschia are of high environmental significance as Jannaschia-related clones constituted up to 25% of all clones with the ability to perform aerobic anoxygenic photosynthesis (3)
Only one genome sequence of Jannaschia species is available to date (4)
Summary
The Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium Jannaschia aquimarina GSW-M26 (DSM 28248) is a member of the Roseobacter clade. The Gram-negative alphaproteobacterium Jannaschia aquimarina GSW-M26 is closely related to Jannaschia seosinensis and Jannaschia helgolandensis (1) and belongs to the Roseobacter clade (2). Strain GSW-M26 (DSM 28248) is the type strain of the species and was isolated from seawater off the southern coast of Korea (1). A study of aerobic bacteriochlorophyll a-producing bacteria in the Baltic Sea showed that members of the genus Jannaschia are of high environmental significance as Jannaschia-related clones constituted up to 25% of all clones with the ability to perform aerobic anoxygenic photosynthesis (3).
