Description

We report the genome sequence of sp. strain EG35 isolated from the octocoral sampled off the coast of Portugal. We reveal the coding potential for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates - biodegradable polyesters that may serve bioplastics production, diverse homoserine lactone-like communication signals, and four putatively novel natural products.
