Draft Genome Sequence of the Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium MGU-K5.

MGU-K5 is an anoxygenic, purple, photoheterotrophic, nonsulfur alphaproteobacterium. Unlike most purple nonsulfur bacteria, MGU-K5 is unable to grow aerobically under chemoorganotrophic conditions. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of to provide insights into its physiology.
