Whole-Genome?Sequences?of an Aerobic?Anoxygenic Phototroph, Blastomonas sp. Strain AAP53,?Isolated?from?a Freshwater Desert Lake in Inner Mongolia, China

摘要

Blastomonas is a strictly aerobic bacteriochlorophyll a-producing genus within the alpha-4 Proteobacteria. Here we report the first genome sequence from this genus. The draft genome of Blastomonas sp. strain AAP53 contains a split photosynthesis gene cluster and two gene clusters encoding a flagellar system. Genes for the autotrophic CO₂ fixation pathway are absent.
