Abstract

Agarivorans gilvus WH0801(T), an agarase-producing bacterium, was isolated from the surface of seaweed. Here, we present the complete genome sequence, which consists of one circular chromosome of 4,416,600 bp with a GC content of 45.9%. This genetic information will provide insight into biotechnological applications of producing agar for food and industry.

Keywords: Agarase; Agarivorans gilvus; Complete genome sequence; SMRT sequencing; Seaweed.
