  2. * Indicates that these genomes are at draft assembly stages. The information regarding genome sizes etc. in these cases have been obtained from the NCBI microbial sequence database.
  3. The revised names for a number of Chlorobi species are as proposed in Ref. 45.
  4. # The sequences marked 'a' are being sequenced by Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Marine Biotechnology Intiative; DOE-JGE, indicates Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute. For some of the completed genomes, which are not published, their accession numbers are provided.
