Draft Genome Sequence of Arenibacter sp. Strain C-21, an Iodine-Accumulating Bacterium Isolated from Surface Marine Sediment.

ABSTRACT: Arenibacter sp. strain C-21, isolated from surface marine sediment of Japan, accumulates iodine in the presence of glucose and iodide (I-). We report here the draft genome sequence of this strain to provide insight into the molecular mechanism underlying its iodine-accumulating ability.
