Complete genome sequence of the Phaeobacter gallaeciensis type strain CIP 105210T (= DSM 26640T = BS107T). Issue 3 (November 2014) - Frank, Oliver
Abstract Phaeobacter gallaeciensis CIP 105210T (= DSM 26640T = BS107T ) is the type strain of the speciesPhaeobacter gallaeciensis . The genusPhaeobacter belongs to the marineRoseobacter group (Rhodobacteraceae, Alphaproteobacteria ).Phaeobacter species are effective colonizers of marine surfaces, including frequent associations with eukaryotes. Strain BS107T was isolated from a rearing of the scallopPecten maximus . Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, comprising eight circular replicons with a total of 4, 448 genes. In addition to a high number of extrachromosomal replicons, the genome contains six genomic island and three putative prophage regions, as well as a hybrid between a plasmid and a circular phage. Phylogenomic analyses confirm previous results, which indicated that the originally reportedP. gallaeciensis type-strain deposit DSM 17395 belongs toP. inhibens and that CIP 105210T (= DSM 26640T ) is the sole genome-sequenced representative ofP. gallaeciensis .
