Draft genome sequence of Marinobacterium rhizophilum DSM 18822, isolated from the rhizosphere of the coastal tidal-flat plant Suaeda japonica

Abstract

The genus Marinobacterium belongs to the family Alteromonadaceae within the class Gamma-proteobacteria and was reported in 1997. Currently the genus Marinobacterium contains 13 species. Marinobacterium rhizophilum DSM 18822T was isolated from sediment closely associated with the roots of a plant growing in a tidal flat of Youngjong Island, Korea. M. rhizophilum DSM 18822T is a strictly aerobic and grew with 1&#8211 5% NaCl (optimum, 3%) and at 5&#8211 30 °C (optimum, 25 °C) and pH 6.0&#8211 9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). The genome of the strain DSM 18822T was sequenced through the Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, Phase I: the one thousand microbial genomes (KGM) project. Here we report the main features of the draft genome of the strain. The 5,364,574 bp long draft genome consists of 58 contigs with the 4,762 protein-coding and 91 RNA genes. Three other species genomes are available in the IMG/ER website from the genus Marinobacterium:M. jannaschiiDSM 6295T, M. litorale DSM 23545T and M. stanieriS30T. Of these three species, M. rhizophilum DSM 18822T is most closely related to M. litorale DSM 23545T. The genomic annotation results of M. rhizophilum DSM 18822T suggest that six auxin biosynthesis related genes were found in the genome, such as anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.18), phosphoribosylanthra was isolated from sediment closely associated with the roots of a plant growing in a tidal flat of Youngjong Island, Korea.
