Abstract

The planctomycete strain K833 was isolated from cold waters at the coast of Island and is tentatively named ‘Rhodopirellula islandica’. It has a lower temperature range for growth than other genome-sequenced Rhodopirellula strains affiliating to Rhodopirellula baltica and ‘Rhodopirellula europaea’. The permanent draft genome of strain K833 was obtained as part of a larger study on the biogeography of Rhodopirellula species in European marine waters. The genome consists of 55 contigs with a genome size of 7,433,200bp. With an average nucleotide identity of 81% to related genomes of R. baltica and ‘R. europaea’ and more than 4000 common genes, it will be a valuable source for the study of temperature adaptation of planctomycete genomes.
