Abstract

Here we report the complete genome sequence of Microcella alkaliphila JAM-AC0309, which was newly isolated from the deep subseafloor core sediment from offshore of the Shimokita Peninsula of Japan. An array of genes related to utilization of xylan in this bacterium was identified by whole genome analysis.

Keywords: A xylan-degrading bacterium; Complete genome sequence; Microcella alkaliphila JAM-AC0309; Subseafloor.
