Draft Genome Sequence of Labrenzia sp. Strain EL143, a Coral-Associated Alphaproteobacterium with Versatile Symbiotic Living Capability and Strong Halogen Degradation Potential

摘要

We report here the genome sequence of Labrenzia sp. EL143, an alphaproteobacterium isolated from the gorgonian coral Eunicella labiata that possesses various genes involved in halogen and aromatic compound degradation, as well as polyketide synthesis. The strain also maintains multiple genes that confer resistance to toxic compounds such as heavy metals and antibiotics.
