Erythrobacter litoralis has been known as a bacteriochlorophylla -containing, aerobic, anoxygenic, phototrophic bacterium. Here we announce the complete genome sequence ofE. litoralis HTCC2594, which is devoid of phototrophic potential.E. litoralis HTCC2594, isolated by dilution-to-extinction culturing from seawater, could not carry out aerobic anoxygenic phototrophy and lacked genes for bacteriochlorophylla biosynthesis and photosynthetic reaction center proteins.
