Genome sequence of Shewanella corallii strain A687 isolated from pufferfish (Sphoeroides spengleri)

Abstract

We present here the genome sequence of Shewanella corallii strain A687 isolated from pufferfish Sphoeroides spengleri (Family Tetraodontidae). The assembly consists of 5,215,037 bp and contains 284 contigs, with a G+C content of 50.3%.

Phylogenetic investigation of Gammaproteobacteria proteins involved in exogenous long-chain fatty acid acquisition and assimilation

“…This may refute the prior hypothesis or be explained by multiple duplication events. Regardless, an aquatic origin for the evolution of these homologs is plausible, and it is tempting to speculate that these proteins may have evolved to recognize fatty acids (eg, PUFAs) associated with marine organisms [ [69] , [70] , [71] , [72] , [73] , [74] , [75] , [76] , [77] , [78] , [79] , [80] ].…”
