Genome Sequence of a Marine Spirillum, Oceanospirillum multiglobuliferum ATCC 33336 ^T , Isolated from Japan

Abstract

Oceanospirillum multiglobuliferum ATCC 33336T is a motile gammaproteobacterium with bipolar tufted flagella, noted for its low salt tolerance compared to other marine spirilla. This strain was originally isolated from the putrid infusions of Crassostrea gigas near Hiroshima, Japan. This paper presents a draft genome sequence for O. multiglobuliferum ATCC 33336T.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Salt Water Bacterium Oceanospirillum linum ATCC 11336 T

“…The genus currently contains four other named species: O. multiglobuliferum , O. maris , O. beijerinckii , and O. nioense . Our research group sequenced O. linum (this paper) and O. multiglobuliferum ( 7 ). Putative Oceanospirillum strain MED92 was determined to have <93% Oceanospirillaceae sequence similarity at the 16S rRNA gene and was instead assigned to the new genus Neptuniibacter as N. caesariensis ( 8 ).…”
