Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Agarivorans aestuarii strain ZMCS4, isolated from Cladostephus spongiosus. The assembled genome consists of 4.5 Mbp, comprising 25 contigs and 4,128 coding sequences. This genome will provide insights into further studies on relevant CAZymes involved in the hydrolysis of algal cell walls.

Keywords: Agarivorans aestuarii; CAZymes (carbohydrate-active enzymes); genome sequencing; marine microbiology.
