Accession numbers NC_014472
Background Maribacter sp. (strain HTCC2170 / KCCM 42371) is a facultative aerobic, chemoorganotrophic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from surface waters at a depth of 10 meters using dilution-to-extinction culturing in the coastal area of Newport, Oregon. Maribacter sp. is predicted to contain carotenoid biosynthesis genes, including a beta-carotene hydroxylase, but the genome has no predicted photosynthetic genes or light-utilizing systems. It contains genes for nitrate reductase, nitrous oxide reductase, and nitric oxide reductase for denitrification, as well as sulfate reductase genes. Maribacter sp. possesses a set of genes coding for enzymes required to degrade high-molecularweight compounds and moves by gliding motility. (Adapted from PMID: 21037013). (HAMAP: MARSH)
