Genome sequence of Alteromonas macleodii strain OCN004 isolated from the extracellular mucus of an apparently healthy rice coral (Montipora capitata)

Abstract

Alteromonas macleodii strain OCN004, a marine gammaproteobacterium in the Alteromonadaceae family, has primarily been studied as a non-pathogenic negative control bacterium during laboratory infection trials to test the virulence of bacterial coral pathogens. The draft genome sequence of A. macleodii strain OCN004 is presented here.

Keywords: Alteromonas; coral; genome.
