Complete Genome Sequence of Rhodobacter sphaeroides KD131

Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacterium that is considered a possible source of H-2 production. R. sphaeroides KD131, which was isolated from sea mud in South Korea, was found to produce high levels of H-2. Here we report the complete and annotated genome sequence of R. sphaeroides KD131.
