Complete Genome Sequence of Strain HTCC2170, a Novel Member of the Genus Maribacter in the Family Flavobacteriaceae
Strain HTCC2170 was isolated from surface waters off the Oregon coast using dilution-to-extinction cul-turing. Here, we present the finished genome sequence of a marine bacterium,Maribacter sp. strain HTCC2170. Strain sp. HTCC2170 is predicted to be a facultatively aerobic chemoorganotroph that, bas...

| Summary: | Strain HTCC2170 was isolated from surface waters off the Oregon coast using dilution-to-extinction cul-turing. Here, we present the finished genome sequence of a marine bacterium,Maribacter sp. strain HTCC2170. Strain sp. HTCC2170 is predicted to be a facultatively aerobic chemoorganotroph that, based on genomic sequence analysis, is capable of macromolecule degradation and anaerobic respiration. In an attempt to cultivate novel marine bacterioplankton using dilution-to-extinction culturing (4, 6, 15), strain HTCC2170 was isolated from surface seawaters collected off the Oregon coast. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences assigned strain HTCC2170 to the genus Mari-bacter as a novel species. The most closely related uncultured clone was B78-51, retrieved from a Pacific Arctic sediment (97.9 % sequence similarity) (8), while the closest validly pub-lished species is Maribacter polysiphoniae (97.0%), isolated from the red alga Polysiphonia japonica (13). The genus Mari-bacter (11) in the family Flavobacteriaceae (3) was created to |
