Project description:The draft genomes of green-colored Chlorobium phaeovibrioidesGrKhr17 and brown-colored Chlorobium phaeovibrioidesBrKhr17, green sulfur bacteria with gas vesicles isolated from Lake Bolshye Khruslomeny, are presented. These sequences contribute to genomic analyses of the Chlorobiaceae family that are part of ongoing research seeking to better understand their ecosystem-specific adaptations.
