Genome characteristics of Kordia antarctica IMCC3317^T and comparative genome analysis of the genus Kordia.

ABSTRACT: The genus Kordia is one of many genera affiliated with the family Flavobacteriaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes, well known for its degradation of high molecular weight organic matters. The genus Kordia currently comprises eight species, type strains of which have been isolated from a diverse range of marine environments. As of this report, four genome sequences have been submitted for cultured strains of Kordia, but none are complete nor have they been analyzed comprehensively. In this study, we report the complete genome of Kordia antarctica IMCC3317^T, isolated from coastal seawater off the Antarctic Peninsula. The complete genome of IMCC3317^T consists of a single circular chromosome with 5.5 Mbp and a 33.2 mol% of G+C DNA content. The IMCC3317^T genome sh
