Abstract

We report four Chitinophaga sp. strains isolated from wastewater collected onboard the International Space Station. Here, we present three finished and one draft genome. Taxonomic ranks established by genome-based analysis indicate that these Chitinophaga sp. strains represent candidates for a new species.
