Abstract
Wenxinia marina Ying et al. 2007 is the type species of the genus Wenxinia, a representative of the Roseobacter group within the alphaproteobacterial family Rhodobacteraceae, isolated from oilfield sediments of the South China Sea. This family was shown to harbor the most abundant bacteria especially from coastal and polar waters, but was also found in microbial mats, sediments and attached to different kind of surfaces.Here we describe the features of W. marina strain HY34T together with the genome sequence and annotation of strain DSM 24838T and novel aspects of its phenotype. The 4,181,754 bp containing genome sequence encodes 4,047 protein-coding genes and 59 RNA genes. The genome of W. marina DSM 24838T was sequenced as part of the activities of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, Phase I: the one thousand microbial genomes (KMG) project funded by the DoE and the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre 51 (TRR51) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Highlights
Strain HY34T (= DSM 24838T = CGMCC 1.6105T = JCM 14017T) is the type strain of Wenxinia marina in the monospecific genus Wenxinia [1,2], which belongs to the widely distributed marine Roseobacter group [3]
A representative genomic 16S rRNA gene sequence of W. marina DSM 24838T was compared with the Greengenes database for determining the weighted relative frequencies of taxa and keywords as previously described [4]
The major respiratory lipoquinone was ubiquinone 10, which is a well-known characteristic of the Alphaproteobacteria
Summary
Strain HY34T (= DSM 24838T = CGMCC 1.6105T = JCM 14017T) is the type strain of Wenxinia marina in the monospecific genus Wenxinia [1,2], which belongs to the widely distributed marine Roseobacter group [3]. The species epithet marina refers to the Latin adjective marina (‘of or belonging to the sea’) [1,2]. Current PubMed records do not indicate any follow-up research with strain HY34T after the initial description of W. marina [1]. In this study we analyzed the genome sequence of W. marina DSM 24838T. We present a description of the genome sequencing and annotation and present a summary classification together with a set of features for strain HY34T, including novel aspects of its phenotype
