Abstract
Thalassolituus oleivorans is one of the most prevalent marine gammaproteobacteria in microbial communities, emerging after oil spills in coastal, estuarine, and surface seawaters. Here, we present the assembled genome of strain T. oleivorans MIL-1 (DSM 14913T), which is 3,920,328 bp with a G+C content of 46.6%.
Highlights
Thalassolituus oleivorans is one of the most prevalent marine gammaproteobacteria in microbial communities, emerging after oil spills in coastal, estuarine, and surface seawaters
Thalassolituus oleivorans MIL-1 was isolated from an enrichment culture established from a seawater and sediment sample collected in the harbor of Milazzo, Sicily, Italy, from a depth of about 5 m, and was supplemented with tetradecane as the sole carbon source [1]
The strain T. oleivorans is a typical representative of the so-called obligate hydrocarbonoclastic marine bacteria (OHCB) that are characterized by their ability to metabolize only a very restricted spectrum of carbon substrates [2]
Summary
Thalassolituus oleivorans is one of the most prevalent marine gammaproteobacteria in microbial communities, emerging after oil spills in coastal, estuarine, and surface seawaters. Thalassolituus oleivorans MIL-1 was isolated from an enrichment culture established from a seawater and sediment sample collected in the harbor of Milazzo, Sicily, Italy, from a depth of about 5 m, and was supplemented with tetradecane as the sole carbon source [1]. The strain T. oleivorans is a typical representative of the so-called obligate hydrocarbonoclastic marine bacteria (OHCB) that are characterized by their ability to metabolize only a very restricted spectrum of carbon substrates [2]. (5), T. oleivorans grows almost exclusively on aliphatic hydrocarbons and their derivatives, fatty acids and fatty alcohols.
