Abstract:
Rhodopseudomonas palustris R1 is a phototrophic, purple, non-sulfur Gram-negative bacterium first isolated from the soils of rice fields, known for its polylactic acid degradability. Here, we present the complete circular genome sequence of this bacterium, spanning 5.32 Mbp and 4,949 protein-coding sequences.
