Draft Genome Sequence of the Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium Rhodomicrobium sp. Strain Az07, Isolated from a Brackish Canal

Rhodomicrobium sp. strain Az07 was isolated from a brackish canal. The organism is more halotolerant than previously described species of the genus Rhodomicrobium. The Illumina MiSeq system was used to sequence the genome of the isolated strain. The assembly contains 3,291,400 bp, 106 contigs, and a GC content of 62.7%.
