Genome Sequences of Marichromatium gracile HOL-1 and Its Purple Photosynthetic Coisolate, Afifella sp. H1R.

We sequenced the genomes of both the purple sulfur gammaproteobacterium Marichromatium gracile HOL-1 and another purple photosynthetic organism, strain H1R, that was originally isolated as an unidentified contaminant. Through genome sequencing, we have now identified organism H1R as a species of Afifella . A whole-genome-based phylogenetic analysis of both species is provided.
