Draft genome sequence of <i>Muricoccus roseus</i> DSM 14916<sup>T</sup>, isolated from a children's care center in Finland

<i>Muricoccus roseus</i> DSM 14916^T, a strain also reported as <i>Roseomonas rosea</i> and <i>Pararoseomonas rosea</i>, was isolated from a water-damaged childcare center in Finland. We report the whole-genome sequence and annotation, identifying genes associated with carotenoid biosynthesis. This sequence may be useful for studies on taxonomic clarification and environmental microbiology.
