Abstract

Ruegeria sp. strain KLH11, isolated from the marine sponge Mycale laxissima, produces a complex profile of N-acylhomoserine lactone quorum-sensing (QS) molecules. The genome sequence provides insights into the genetic potential of KLH11 to maintain complex QS systems, and this is the first genome report of a cultivated symbiont from a marine sponge.
