Draft genomic sequence of a selenite-reducing bacterium, Paenirhodobacter enshiensis DW2-9T

Abstract

Paenirhodobacter enshiensis is a non-photosynthetic species that belongs to family Rhodobacteraceae. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Paenirhodobacter enshiensis DW2-9T and comparison results to the available related genomes. The strain has a 3.4 Mbp genome sequence with G + C content of 66.82% and 2781 protein-coding genes. It lacks photosynthetic gene clusters and putative proteins necessary in Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway, but contains proteins in Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway instead. It shares 699 common genes with nine related Rhodobacteraceae genomes, and possesses 315 specific genes.
