Genome sequence of Leisingera nanhaiensis strain DSM 24252 T isolated from marine sediment

Leisingera nanhaiensis DSM 24252 T is a Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped marine Alphaproteobacterium , isolated from sandy marine sediments. Here we present the non-contiguous genome sequence and annotation together with a summary of the organism's phenotypic features. The 4,948,550 bp long genome with its 4,920 protein-coding and 60 RNA genes consists of one chromosome and six extrachromosomal elements with 236kb, , 92kb, 61 kb, 58kb, 58kb, 56kb and 35kb length, respectively. The analysis of the genome showed that DSM 24252 T possesses all genes necessary for the dissimilatory nitrite reduction and thus might be facultatively anaerobic. Also present in the genome are genes for the utilization of methylated amines, a putative prophage and gene-transfer agents. Phylogenetic analysis and intergenomic distances indicate that L. nanhaiensis might not be a species of the genus Leisingera . doi:10.4056/sigs.3828824
