Draft genome sequence of rhodovulum sp. Strain PH10, a phototrophic alphaproteobacterium isolated from a soil sample of mangrove of namkhana, India

Abstract

We report the 4.8-Mb draft genome of Rhodovulum sp. strain PH10, a phototrophic bacterium belonging to class Alphaproteobacteria, isolated from a soil sample collected from the mangrove forest of Namkhana in India. This genome is the first from the genus Rhodovulum and will lead to a better understanding of the genes/pathways involved in activities like phototrophic growth and nitrogen fixation in this group of bacteria. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
