Abstract

Type strain Vitellibacter vladivostokensis KMM 3516(T) (=NBRC 16718(T)) belongs to the phylum Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides. To date, no genomes of the Vitellibacter spp. have been reported, and their metabolic pathways are unknown. This study reports the draft genome sequence of V. vladivostokensis. Moreover, mining of genes associated with proteolytic enzymes was performed to provide insights for further enzyme characterization.

Keywords: Genome sequence; Marine bacteria; Protease; Vitellibacter vladivostokensis.
