Draft Genome Sequence of a Marine Photoferrotrophic Bacterium, Rhodovulum robiginosum DSM 12329 T

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Rhodovulum robiginosum DSM 12329 T , an anoxygenic phototroph isolated from a marine sediment in the North Sea (Jadebusen, Germany). This is the first genome for a marine photoferrotrophic bacterium, and it provides a genetic basis to understand the mechanistic underpinnings of photoferrotrophy in future studies.
