Genome sequence of the marine photoheterotrophic bacterium Erythrobacter sp. strain NAP1

. 2011 Oct ; 193 (20) : 5881-2.

Language English Country United States Media print

Document type Journal Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't

Here we report the full genome sequence of marine phototrophic bacterium Erythrobacter sp. strain NAP1. The 3.3-Mb genome contains a full set of photosynthetic genes organized in one 38.9-kb cluster; however, it does not contain genes for CO(2) or N(2) fixation, thereby confirming that the organism is a photoheterotroph.
