Abstract

The draft genome of Flavobacterium tructae strain S12, isolated from hatchery-reared Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) fingerlings, consisted of 5,695,942 bp, a G + C content of 35.6%, 4,775 predicted open reading frames, a putative type IX secretion system, collagenase, and hemolysin. F. tructae strains can be used as models for emerging Flavobacterium pathogens.
