Complete Genome Sequence of the Photoautotrophic and Bacteriochlorophyll e-Synthesizing Green Sulfur Bacterium Chlorobaculum limnaeum DSM 1677T.

ABSTRACT: Chlorobaculum limnaeum DSM 1677T is a mesophilic, brown-colored, chlorophototrophic green sulfur bacterium that produces bacteriochlorophyll e and the carotenoid isorenieratene as major pigments. This bacterium serves as a model organism in molecular research on photosynthesis, sulfur metabolism, and bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis. We report here the complete genome sequence.
