title: Genome sequence of the marine alphaproteobacterium HTCC2150, assigned to the Roseobacter clade.
abstract: Here we announce the genome sequence of a marine bacterium, HTCC2150, that was isolated off the Oregon coast using dilution-to-extinction culturing and that is affiliated with the Roseobacter clade. The 16S rRNA phylogeny showed that the strain was closely related to members of the RCA clade. The genome sequence suggests that strain HTCC2150 is an organoheterotroph carrying diverse metabolic potential, including a close relationship with phytoplankton.
