Genome sequence of proteorhodopsin-containing sea ice bacterium Glaciecola punicea ACAM 611T

J Bacteriol. 2012 Jun;194(12):3267. doi: 10.1128/JB.00463-12.

Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Antarctic sea ice bacterium Glaciecola punicea ACAM 611(T), the type species of the genus Glaciecola. A blue-light-absorbing proteorhodopsin gene is present in the 3.08-Mb genome. This genome sequence can facilitate the study of the physiological metabolisms and ecological roles of sea ice bacteria.
