Complete genome sequence of Winogradskyella sp. strain PG-2, a proteorhodopsincontaining marine flavobacterium

Abstract

Winogradskyella sp. strain PG-2 is a marine flavobacterium isolated from surface seawater. This organism contains proteorhodopsin, which can convert light energy into available forms of biochemical energy. Here, we present its complete genome sequence and annotation, which provide further insights into the life strategy of proteorhodopsin-mediated phototrophy in the ocean.
