, 2012). Additionally, an engineered

microbial platform and a synthetic yeast platform were reported as genetic modification strains to produce ethanol from brown seaweeds by using the similar pathway above ( Wargacki et al., 2012 and Enquist-Newman et al., 2014). Up to now, most reported bioethanol transferred from brown seaweeds were produced from mannitol or glucan including cellulose and laminarin ( Yanagisawa et al., 2011, Lee et al., 2013 and Wang et al., 2013). Hence, by developing the fermentation of alginate which is the most abundant component in brown seaweeds, strain HZ11 may significantly increase the yield of bioethanol from brown seaweeds and the utilization rate of brown seaweeds ( Wargacki et al., 2012). This Whole Genome Shotgun project of M. elongatus HZ11 (= CGMCC Everolimus in vivo 6242) has been deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank database under the accession JELR00000000.

“Frank (1889) first discovered Rhizobia, Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria that principally cause the

formation of root nodules on legumes and fix nitrogen inside nodules. Rhizobia are known for their nitrogen fixing capacity; however, other functions are also assumed by different Rhizobium species, such as triazophos-degrading Rhizobium flavum ( Gu et al., 2014), aniline-degrading Rhizobium borbori ( Zhang et al., 2011), and exopolysaccharide-producing Rhizobium alamii ( Berge et al., 2009). Most Rhizobium species have been isolated from nodules on leguminous plants ( Peng et al., 2008). One June 9th 2013, we isolated Rhizobium sp. MGL06 from surface TCL seawater samples collected in the South China Sea (118°23′E, 21°03′N). This strain could grow on Difco™ Marine Agar 2216 medium (BD, USA) containing at least 1300 mg/L of malachite green, which is toxic to microorganisms

( Chen et al., 2010). This strain has been deposited in the Marine Culture Collection of China (Accession Number: MCCC 1A00836). Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence (GenBank accession number: KJ751545) and physiological and biochemical features indicated that R. sp. MGL06 likely represents a new species in the Rhizobium group, making it the first known naturally occurring strain in this clade that can tolerate malachite green. The R. sp. MGL06 genome sequence may provide fundamental molecular information on the malachite green tolerance and broad salinity adaptation of this strain. The genome of R. sp. MGL06 was sequenced using the Illumina/Solexa MiSeq technology at the Shanghai Majorbio Bio-pharm Technology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). A library with a fragment length of 500 bp was constructed, and a total of 1029 Mbp paired-end reads of 300 bp were generated.
