Genome sequence of strain TW15, a novel member of the genus Ruegeria, belonging to the marine Roseobacter clade

Abstract

Ruegeria sp. TW15, which belongs to the family Rhodobacteraceae, was isolated from an ark clam in the South Sea of Korea. Here is presented the draft genome sequence of Ruegeria sp. TW15 (4,490,771 bp with a G+C content of 55.7%), a member of the marine Roseobacter clade, which comprises up to 20% of the bacterioplankton in the coastal and oceanic mixed layer.
