Genome sequence of Nitratireductor basaltis strain UMTGB225, a marine bacterium isolated from a green barrel tunicate in Bidong Island, Malaysia

Abstract

Nitratireductor basaltis strain UMTGB225 is a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a marine tunicate found in Bidong Island, Terengganu, Malaysia. In this study, the genome of Nitratireductor basaltis UMTGB225 was sequenced to gain insight into the role of this bacterium and its association with tunicate hosts in a coral reef habitat.
