High-Quality Draft genome sequence of Gracilimonas tropica CL-CB462(DSM 19535) isolated from a Synechococcus culture

Abstract

Gracilimonas tropica Choi et al. 2009 is a member of order Sphingobacteriales, class Sphingobacteriia. Three species of the genus Gracilimonas have been isolated from marineseawater or salt mine and showed extremely halotolerant and mesophilic features,although closest relatives are extremely halophilic or thermophilic. The type species ofGracilimonas genus, G. tropica DSM19535T, was isolated from a Synechococcus culture which was established from the tropical sea-surface water of the Pacific Ocean. The genome of the strain DSM19535T was sequenced through the Genomic Encyclopedia of Type Strains, Phase I: the one thousand microbial genomes (KGM) project. Here, we describe the genomic features of the strain. The 3,831,242 bp long draft genome consists of 48 contigs with the 3,373 protein-coding and 53 RNA genes. The strain seems to adapt to phosphate limitation and requires amino acids from external environment halotolerant and mesophilic features,although closest relatives are extremely halophilic or thermophilic.
