ABSTRACT
Herein we report the draft genome sequence of a phototrophic bacterium, Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus strain JA2(T), which apparently is the first genome sequence report of a phototrophic member belonging to the class Betaproteobacteria. The unique feature of this strain is its capability to synthesize carotenoids through both spirilloxanthin and spheroidenone pathways. Strain JA2(T) produces several novel secondary metabolites, and the genome insights help in understanding the unique machinery that the strain adapted.
