Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodopirellula baltica Strain BR-MGV, a Planctomycete Isolated from Brazilian Mangrove Soil

Abstract

Members of the phylum Planctomycetes , which are capable of surviving in a wide range of environments, are some of the least-explored bacteria. Here, we report the near-complete draft genome sequence and annotation of the planctomycete Rhodopirellula baltica BR-MGV, which was isolated from the soil of a contaminated Brazilian mangrove.
