Abstract

Rhodomicrobium vannielii is a multicellular and differentiating member of the order Hyphomicrobiales in the class Alphaproteobacteria. Here, we report the complete genome of strain DSM166 obtained by PacBio SMRT sequencing. The results suggest that this strain is closely related to Rhodomicrobium lacus.

Keywords: Alphaproteobacteria; Hyphomicrobium; MreB; Rhizobiales; Rhodomicrobium; multicellularity.
