Complete genome sequence of Croceibacter atlanticus HTCC2559T.

ABSTRACT: Here we announce the complete genome sequence of Croceibacter atlanticus HTCC2559(T), which was isolated by high-throughput dilution-to-extinction culturing from the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series station in the Western Sargasso Sea. Strain HTCC2559(T) contained genes for carotenoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, and several macromolecule-degrading enzymes. The genome confirmed physiological observations of cultivated Croceibacter atlanticus strain HTCC2559(T), which identified it as an obligate chemoheterotroph.
