description

Abstract Thalassobius gelatinovorus is a member of the family Rhodobacteraceae previously classified in the genera Agrobacterium and Ruegeria . Strain Ahrens B6 T (= ATCC 25655 T , = B6 T , = CECT 4357 T , = CIP 105976 T , = DSM 5887 T , = IAM 12617 T , = JCM 20688 T , = KCTC 22092 T , = LMG 129 T , = NBRC 15761 T , = NCIMB 2206 T ) was isolated in 1967 from a sea water sampled in Kiel Fjord in Baltic Sea. Genomic DNA sequence of T. gelatinovorus CECT 4357 T was assembled into a draft genome and annotated. Here we report the main features of this draft genome composed by 3,902,797 bp arranged in 30 contigs with a G + C content of 58.4%, 3770 protein coding genes, 44 tRNA genes, 7 rRNA genes. The draft genome encodes genes involved in poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthesis, ectoine synthesis, degradation of aromatic compounds and pathways involved in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur.
