Complete Genome Sequence of Rhodobacter sphaeroides Strain HJ, a Purple Nonsulfur Bacterium with the Ability To Produce High Levels of Hydrogen from Acetate

Abstract

Previously, Rhodobacter sphaeroides strain HJ was isolated to obtain a purple nonsulfur bacterium with the ability to produce high levels of hydrogen from acetate. However, the genome of this strain has not been previously sequenced. Therefore, the complete genome sequence of R. sphaeroides strain HJ is presented in this report.
