Abstract

Flavobacterium spp. have been cultivated from diverse aquatic and terrestrial habitats. F. akiainvivens IK-1(T) was cultivated from decaying wood of Wikstroemia oahuensis, an endemic Hawaiian shrub. The strain's genome sequence may provide insights into niche adaptation and evolution of the genus in a mid-ocean archipelago.
