Whole-genome sequences of marine bacteria presenting the ability to promote the growth of the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum.

Abstract

We describe the whole-genome sequences of seven diverse marine bacteria isolated from Portuguese environments that presented the ability to promote the growth of the model diatom, Phaeodactylum tricornutum. The bacterial genome sequences will contribute to the study of genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in diatom-bacteria interactions.
