Abstract
ABSTRACTHere, we announce the genomes of eight Roseibium album (synonym Labrenzia alba) strains that were obtained from the octocoral Eunicella labiata. Genome annotation revealed multiple symbiosis factors common to all genomes, such as eukaryotic-like repeat protein- and multidrug resistance-encoding genes, which likely underpin symbiotic relationships with marine invertebrate hosts.

GENOME SEQUENCESThe Roseibium album (Labrenzia alba) Genome Possesses Multiple Symbiosis Factors Possibly Underpinning Host-Microbe Relationships in the Marine Benthos
The eight R. album strains were isolated from E. labiata specimens that had been collected off the coast of Faro, Portugal, after plating of host-derived homogenates on half-strength marine agar medium followed by incubation at 18°C for 4 weeks [4]
Analysis of the R. album genomes revealed the presence of various Clusters of Orthologous Groups of proteins (COG) important for the establishment of symbiotic relationships, including eukaryotic-like WD40, ankyrin, and tetratricopeptide repeats (Fig. 1)
