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

ABSTRACT: 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.
