Genome sequence of the marine alphaproteobacterium sp. EG35 isolated from the temperate octocoral

We report the genome sequence of sp. strain EG35 isolated from the octocoral sampled off the coast of Portugal. We reveal the coding potential for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates - biodegradable polyesters that may serve bioplastics production, diverse homoserine lactone-like communication signals, and four putatively novel natural products.
