Here, we report the draft genome sequences of the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium phaeovibrioides strains GrTcv12 and PhvTcv-s14, isolated from the chemocline zone from meromictic Lake Trekhtzvetnoe, separated from the White Sea, in Russia. This is the first report showing the presence of plasmids containing antiphage systems in the Chlorobium sp. genome.
