Complete genome sequence of Erythrobacter gangjinensis CGMCC 1.15024(T) with two chromosomes

摘要

Erythrobacter gangjinensis CGMCC 1.15024(T) (JCM 15420(T) = KCTC 22330(T)) was isolated from seawater of a shellfish farm in Gangjin Bay, Korea. In this study, the genome of E. gangjinensis CGMCC 1.15024T was sequenced and comprised of two circular chromosomes, named chromosome I and II, with the size of 2,495,029 and 229,922 bp, respectively. The two chromosomes have similar DNA G + C content (62.7 and 62.9%) and percentages of coding regions (912 and 89.8%). The comparison of two annotated chromosomes revealed that either chromosome harbored unique genes (e.g. fatty acid biosynthesis genes in chromosome I and catalase-encoding gene in chromosome II). E. gangjinensis CGMCC 1.15024T is the first strain with two chromosomes reported in genus Erythrobacter and provides new insights into understanding of the evolution and phenotypes of genus Erythrobacter.
