Genome Sequences of Green- and Brown-Colored Strains of Chlorobium phaeovibrioides with Gas Vesicles

Abstract

The draft genomes of green-colored <i>Chlorobium phaeovibrioides</i> <i>Gr</i>Khr17 and brown-colored <i>Chlorobium phaeovibrioides</i> <i>Br</i>Khr17, green sulfur bacteria with gas vesicles isolated from Lake Bolshye Khruslomeny, are presented. These sequences contribute to genomic analyses of the <i>Chlorobiaceae</i> family that are part of ongoing research seeking to better understand their ecosystem-specific adaptations.
