Abstract

Phaeospirillum fulvum MGU-K5 is an anoxygenic, purple, photoheterotrophic, nonsulfur alphaproteobacterium. Unlike most purple nonsulfur bacteria, MGU-K5 is unable to grow aerobically under chemoorganotrophic conditions. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of P. fulvum to provide insights into its physiology.
