Genome sequence of Roseovarius pacificus strain IR27, a denitrifying bacterium from anoxic marine sediments with multiple methylamine oxidation pathways

TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a bacterium that can survive in oxygen-free marine sediments by using methylamine and nitrous oxide.

Contribution

The study provides a new genome sequence with genes for denitrification and methylamine oxidation in an anoxic marine bacterium.

Findings

The genome includes genes for denitrification and monomethylamine oxidation.

The chromosome is 3,527,725 bp with 62.56% GC content.

A plasmid of 272,010 bp with 59.18% GC content was also identified.

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Roseovarius pacificus strain IR27, isolated from anoxic marine sediments on monomethylamine and nitrous oxide. The assembled chromosome is 3,527,725 bp (62.56% GC), and the plasmid is 272,010 bp (59.18% GC). The genome contains denitrification as well as monomethylamine oxidation genes.
