Title: Draft Genome Sequence of Rubrivivax gelatinosus CBS

Journal Article · · Journal of Bacteriology
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1128/jb.00515-12· OSTI ID:1050137

Rubrivivax gelatinosus CBS, a purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacterium, can grow photosynthetically using CO and N{sub 2} as the sole carbon and nitrogen nutrients, respectively. R. gelatinosus CBS is of particular interest due to its ability to metabolize CO and yield H{sub 2}. We present the 5-Mb draft genome sequence of R. gelatinosus CBS with the goal of providing genetic insight into the metabolic properties of this bacterium.
