Genome sequencing suggests diverse secondary metabolism in coral-associated aquimarina megaterium

Publication . Couceiro, Joana Fernandes; Keller-Costa, Tina; Kyrpides, Nikos C.; Woyke, Tanja; Whitman, William B.; Costa, Rodrigo

We report here the genome sequences of three Aquimarina megaterium strains isolated from the octocoral Euniceila labiata. We reveal a coding potential for versatile carbon metabolism and biosynthesis of natural products belonging to the polyketide, nonribosomal peptide, and terpene compound classes.
