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

J Bacteriol. 2011 Oct;193(20):5881-2. doi: 10.1128/JB.05845-11.

Abstract

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.
