Janthinobacterium lividum  is a Gram-negative bacterium able to produce violacein, a pigment with antimicrobial and antitumor properties.  Janthinobacterium lividum  colonizes the skin of some amphibians and confers protection against fungal pathogens. The mechanisms underlying this association are not well understood. In order to identify the advantages for the bacterium to colonize amphibian skin we sequenced  Janthinobacterium lividum  strain MTR, a strain isolated from Cajón del Maipo, Chile. The strain has capnophilic behavior, with growth favored by high concentrations (5 %) of carbon dioxide. Its genome is 6,535,606 bp in size, with 5,362 coding sequences and a G + C content of 62.37 %. The presence of genes encoding for products that participate in the carbon fixation pathways (dark CAM pathways), and the entire set of genes encoding for the enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle may explain the capnophilic behavior and allow us to propose that the CO 2  secreted by the skin of amphibians is the signal molecule that guides colonization by  Janthinobacterium lividum.
