Genome Sequence of the Unclassified Marine Gammaproteobacterium BDW918

Abstract

The unclassified marine gammaproteobacterium BDW918, which utilizes volatile fatty acids but not most common carbohydrates and amino acids, was isolated from Dokdo seawater in South Korea. Here we present a draft genome of the strain BDW918, which encodes many putative genes related to fatty acid metabolism and aromatic hydrocarbon degradation.
