Complete Genome Sequence of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1

We report the complete genomic sequence of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 (DSM 6361), a type strain of the genus Magnetospirillum belonging to the Alphaproteobacteria. Compared to the reported draft sequence, extensive rearrangements and differences were found, indicating high genomic flexibility and domestication by accelerated evolution of the strain upon repeated passaging.
