New purple sulfur bacteria genomes from Nebraska salt marsh enrichments
ABSTRACT Two genomes from a Winogradsky column enrichment from the Nebraska salt marshes were sequenced. The analysis of whole-genome phylogeny and average nucleotide identity comparisons indicated that these belong to species of purple sulfur bacteria, Halochromatium and Ectothiorhodospira marina , that have not been described before.
