Draft Genome Sequence of <i>Sulfitobacter</i> sp. CB2047, a Member of the <i>Roseobacter</i> Clade of Marine Bacteria, Isolated from an <i>Emiliania huxleyi</i> Bloom

Abstract

We announce the draft genome sequence of Sulfitobacter sp. strain CB2047, a marine bacterium of the Roseobacter clade, isolated from a phytoplankton bloom. The genome encodes pathways for the catabolism of aromatic compounds as well as transformations of carbon monoxide and sulfur species. The strain also encodes a prophage as well as the gene transfer agent (GTA), both of which are prevalent among members of the Rhodobacterales order.
