The genomes of three Rhodopirellula baltica strains were sequenced as permanent drafts to complement the full genome sequence of the type strain R. baltica SH1(T). The isolates are part of a larger study to infer the biogeography of Rhodopirellula species in European marine waters, as well as to amend the genus description of R. baltica. This genomics resource article is the first of a series of five publications reporting in total eight new permanent daft genomes of Rhodopirellula species.
Keywords: Biogeography; Diversity; Planctomycetes; Rhodopirellula baltica SH1(T).
