Genome sequence of the marine alphaproteobacterium Lentilitoribacter sp. EG35 isolated from the temperate octocoral Eunicella gazella

We report the genome sequence of Lentilitoribacter sp. strain EG35 isolated from the octocoral Eunicella gazella sampled off the coast of Portugal. We reveal the coding potential for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates - biodegradable polyesters that may serve bioplastics production, diverse homoserine lactone-like communication signals, and four putatively novel natural products.
