	Abstract

Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacterium that is considered as a possible source of H₂-production. R. sphaeroides KD131, which was isolated from sea mud in South Korea, was found to produce high levels of H₂. Here we report the complete and annotated genome sequence of R. sphaeroides KD131.
