title: Alteromonas sp. MED1 genome sequencing
organism: Alteromonas sp. MED1
description: A first taxonomic affiliation was made using the 16rRNA of this strain identifying it as Alteromonas. To further investigate the taxonomic placement of this strain, the Genome Taxonomy Database Toolkit (GTDB-Tk) was applied. The best suggested affiliation was Bacteria; Proteobacteria; gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacteriaceae; Alteromonadaceae; Alteromonas_A. Based on the phylogenetic tree and the taxonomy proposed by GTDB, this strain was named: Alteromonas plasticoclasticus MED1.
