Draft Whole-Genome Sequence of the Purple Nonsulfur Photosynthetic Bacterium Rhodopseudomonas rutila R1.

ABSTRACT: Rhodopseudomonas species are purple nonsulfur bacteria found in many environments and known for their diverse metabolic capabilities. Here, we report the genome sequence of Rhodopseudomonas rutila type strain R1 and a whole-genome nucleotide comparison of related Rhodopseudomonas palustris species, suggesting the necessity for future reevaluation of the Rhodopseudomonas species differentiation.
