Complete Genome Sequence of Marinobacter sp. Strain JH2, Isolated from Seawater of the Kiel Fjord

Abstract

Here, we present the genome sequence of the Gram-negative and rod-shaped Marinobacter sp. strain JH2, which was isolated from seawater of the Kiel Fjord in Germany. The draft genome consists of two replicons, including one chromosome (3.6 Mb) and a circular plasmid (36.7 kb). The genome harbors 3,347 protein-coding genes.

Draft Genome Sequence of Marinobacter sp. Strain LZ-6, Isolated from the Toxic Dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella

“…Marinobacter species are mesophilic, halotolerant or halophilic, and chemoheterotrophic bacteria most found in saline habitats, and many of them could be of potential interest for biotechnological and bioremediation applications due to their capacity to utilize hydrocarbon contaminants or to degrade plastic or radionuclides (1–4). However, few cultivable Marinobacter species are found to be associated with marine dinoflagellates, although members of Marinobacter are globally distributed in aquatic environments (5).…”
