Summary Among the dominant deltaproteobacterial sulfate‐reducing bacteria ( SRB ), members of the genus D esulfobacula are not only present in (hydrocarbon‐rich) marine sediments, but occur also frequently in the anoxic water bodies encountered in marine upwelling areas. Here, we present the 5.2 Mbp genome of D esulfobacula toluolica Tol2 , which is the first of an aromatic compound‐degrading, marine SRB . The genome has appar...

Summary The complete genome of the bacterium Erwinia tasmaniensis strain Et1/99 consisting of a 3.9 Mb circular chromosome and five plasmids was sequenced . Strain Et1/99 represents an epiphytic plant bacterium related to Erwinia amylovora and E. pyrifoliae , which are responsible for the important plant diseases fire blight and Asian pear shoot blight, respectively. Strain Et1/99 is a non‐pathogenic bacterium and is thought t...
