Allochromatium vinosum formerly Chromatium vinosum is a mesophilic purple sulfur bacte- rium belonging to the family Chromatiaceae in the bacterial class Gammaproteobacteria. The genus Allochromatium contains currently five species. All members were isolated from fresh- water, brackish water or marine habitats and are predominately obligate phototrophs. Here we describe the features of the organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first completed genome sequence of a member of the Chromatiaceae within the purple sulfur bacteria thriving in globally occurring habitats. The 3,669,074 bp ge- nome with its 3,302 protein-coding and 64 RNA genes was sequenced within the Joint Ge- nome Institute Community Sequencing Program.
