Draft Genome Sequences of Coral-Associated Bacterium <em>Hoeflea</em> sp. Strain E7-10 and Dinoflagellate-Associated Bacterium Hoeflea prorocentri PM5-8
Here, we report the draft genome sequences of Hoeflea sp. strain E7-10 and Hoeflea prorocentri PM5-8, isolated from a bleached hard coral and a culture of marine dinoflagellate, respectively. Genome sequencing for host-associated isolates Hoeflea sp. E7-10 and H. prorocentri PM5-8 can provide basic genetic information to explore potential roles in their hosts.

Oleaginous Heterotrophic Dinoflagellates-Crypthecodiniaceae
The heterotrophic Crypthecodinium cohnii is a major model for dinoflagellate cell biology, and a major industrial producer of docosahexaenoic acid, a key nutraceutical and added pharmaceutical compound. Despite these factors, the family Crypthecodiniaceae is not fully described, which is partly attributable to their degenerative thecal plates, as well as the lack of ribotype-referred morphological description in many taxons. We report here significant genetic distances and phylogenetic cladding…

Intracytoplasmic-membrane development in alphaproteobacteria involves the homolog of the mitochondrial crista-developing protein Mic60
Mitochondrial cristae expand the surface area of respiratory membranes and ultimately allow for the evolutionary scaling of respiration with cell volume across eukaryotes. The discovery of Mic60 homologs among alphaproteobacteria, the closest extant relatives of mitochondria, suggested that cristae might have evolved from bacterial intracytoplasmic membranes (ICMs). Here, we investigated the predicted structure and function of alphaproteobacterial Mic60, and a protein encoded by an adjacent gene…

Transcriptomic analysis of polyketide synthesis in dinoflagellate, Prorocentrum lima
The benthic dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima is among the most common toxic morphospecies with a cosmopolitan distribution. P. lima can produce polyketide compounds, such as okadaic acid (OA), dinophysistoxin (DTX) and their analogues, which are responsible for diarrhetic shellfish poisoning (DSP). Studying the molecular mechanism of DSP toxin biosynthesis is crucial for understanding the environmental driver influencing toxin biosynthesis as well as for better monitoring of marine ecosystems….

Complete Genome Sequence of <em>Roseibium</em> sp. Strain Sym1, a Bacterial Associate of Symbiodinium linucheae, the Microalgal Symbiont of the Anemone <em>Aiptasia</em>
We sequenced the genome of Roseibium sp. strain Sym1, a strain isolated from a monoculture of a Symbiodiniaceae marine dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium linucheae, a microalgal symbiont of cnidarians. The completed genome consists of one circular chromosome of 6,694,563 bp and four plasmids of 192,102 bp, 160,136 bp, 120,881 bp, and 89,413 bp.
