Genome sequencing of Marinobacterium sp. PAMC 27536. Marinobacterium profundum strain:PAMC 27536

The genus Marinobacterium was established with Marinobacterium georgiense as the type species by Gonzalez et al. (1997) for a marine bacterium isolated from lignin-rich pulp mill waste. The genus Marinobacterium belongs to the family Altermonadaceae, and members of this genus contain Q-8 as the major respiratory quinone (Gonzalez et al., 1997; Kim et al., 2008; Chimetto et al., 2011; Alfaro-Espinoza & Ullrich, 2014). The genomic DNA G+C content of Marinobacterium species with validly described names ranges from 54.9 to 62.5 mol% (Gonzalez et al., 1997; Huo et al., 2009). We isolated a bacterial strain in a study for screening methanol-utilizing bacteria in association with the biogeochemical process of deep-sea sediments. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain PAMC 27536 was affiliated with the genus Marinobacterium. Strain PAMC 27536 was most closely related to the type strain of M. rhizophilum (98.5 % sequence similarity) and next to other type strains of Marinobacterium species with validly described names (94.0-91.7 %). We performed whole genome sequencing of strain PAMC 27536 to compare with those of other Marinobacterium.
