Bacteria are the primary food source of choanoflagellates, the closest known relatives of animals. Studying signaling interactions between the Gram-negative Bacteroidetes bacterium Algoriphagus sp. PR1 and its predator, the choanoflagellate Salpingoeca rosetta, provides a promising avenue for testing hypotheses regarding the involvement of bacteria in animal evolution. Here we announce the complete genome sequence of Algoriphagus sp. PR1 and initial findings from its annotation.
细菌是领鞭毛虫（动物最接近的已知亲缘）的主要食物来源。研究革兰氏阴性拟杆菌门的 Algoriphagus sp. PR1 细菌与其捕食者——领鞭毛虫 Salpingoeca rosetta 之间的信号相互作用，为测试关于细菌参与动物进化的假说提供了一个很有前途的途径。在这里，我们公布了 Algoriphagus sp. PR1 的完整基因组序列及其注释的初步结果。
