Genome sequence of Paracoccus sandarakinolimnes ME4, a pigmented, aerobic bacterium isolated from freshwater.

Abstract

Paracoccus is a metabolically diverse genus found in a range of habitats. Here we describe Paracoccus sandarakinolimnes ME4, a carotenoid-producing, aerobic bacterium isolated from freshwater. The genome contains 4,061,481 bases in five contigs with 4,028 protein-coding genes, 106 tRNA and rRNA genes, and 35 pseudogenes.
