Roseobacter sp. EG26 Genome sequencing
We present the genome sequence of Roseobacter sp. EG26, isolated from the octocoral Eunicella gazella off the coast of Portugal. We highlight features related to the type II, III, IV, and VI secretion systems, ankyrin-repeat proteins, and taurine degradation, suggesting a preference for a host-associated lifestyle. Strain EG26 also possesses genes for the degradation of aromatic compounds with bioremediation potential.
