J Bacteriol. 2011 Jan;193(1):305-6. doi: 10.1128/JB.01205-10. Epub 2010 Oct 29.

Abstract

The order "Parvularculales" represents the seventh order in the class Alphaproteobacteria. Parvularcula bermudensis, the type species of the order, was isolated from the Sargasso Sea using dilution-to-extinction culturing. We present here the complete genome sequence of Parvularcula bermudensis HTCC2503(T), which contains genes for carotenoid biosynthesis, dimethylsulfoniopropionate demethylase, and transduction-like gene transfer agents.
