Genome sequence of the marine alphaproteobacterium <i>Lentilitoribacter</i> sp. EG35 isolated from the temperate octocoral <i>Eunicella gazella</i>

We report the genome sequence of <i>Lentilitoribacter</i> sp. strain EG35 isolated from the octocoral <i>Eunicella gazella</i> sampled off the coast of Portugal. We reveal the coding potential for the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates - biodegradable polyesters that may serve bioplastics production, diverse homoserine lactone-like communication signals, and four putatively novel natural products.
