Elstera litoralis, is a Rhodospirillaceae member which was isolated from the littoral zone of Lake Constance from a stone biofilm using diatom extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) as C source. We present here the draft genome of E. litoralis which has a genome size of 3.83 Mb and 612%G + C content. Genome analysis indicated utilization of multiple C substrates explaining its heterotrophic lifestyle as a bacterium present in natural biofilms. Further comparative genome analysis of Elstera with other members of Rhodospirillaceae would be helpful to understand the evolutionary relationships and divergence of hydrobacteria from terrabacteria.
