Draft genome sequence of the novel agar-digesting marine bacterium HQM9

J Bacteriol. 2011 Sep;193(17):4557-8. doi: 10.1128/JB.05513-11. Epub 2011 Jul 1.

Abstract

Strain HQM9, an aerobic, rod-shaped marine bacterium from red algae, can produce agarases and liquefy solid plating media efficiently when agar is used as a coagulant. Here we report the draft genome sequence and the initial findings from a preliminary analysis of strain HQM9, which should be a novel species of Flavobacteriaceae.
