Complete Genome Sequence of Sulfitobacter sp. Strain D7, a Virulent Bacterium Isolated from an Emiliania huxleyi Algal Bloom in the North Atlantic.

A Rhodobacterales bacterium, Sulfitobacter sp. strain D7, was isolated from an Emiliania huxleyi bloom in the North Atlantic and has been shown to act as a pathogen and induce cell death of E. huxleyi during lab coculturing. We report here its complete genome sequence comprising one chromosome and five low-copy-number plasmids.
