Complete Genome Sequence of Magnetospirillum sp. ME-1, a Novel Magnetotactic Bacterium Isolated from East Lake, Wuhan, China.

ABSTRACT: A novel spiral magnetotactic bacterium, Magnetospirillum sp. ME-1, was isolated from East Lake in China. Here we report the complete genome of ME-1, which contains a 4,551,873-bp circular chromosome and a 5,222-bp circular plasmid. The magnetosome biogenesis-specific genes are located in a 97,664-bp magnetosome genomic island.
