Genome Sequence of the Proteorhodopsin-Containing Bacterium Flavobacterium sp. Strain TH167, Isolated from Cyanobacterial Aggregates in a Eutrophic Lake

Flavobacterium is the most abundant group of bacteria within the cyanobacterial aggregates in Lake Taihu, China. Here, we present the genome sequence and annotation of Flavobacterium sp. strain TH167. Genome analysis revealed the presence of a proteorhodopsin-encoding sequence, together with its ret...

Descripción
Sumario:Flavobacterium is the most abundant group of bacteria within the cyanobacterial aggregates in Lake Taihu, China. Here, we present the genome sequence and annotation of Flavobacterium sp. strain TH167. Genome analysis revealed the presence of a proteorhodopsin-encoding sequence, together with its retinal-producing pathway, indicating a putative photoheterotrophic lifestyle that generates energy from light.
