Genome Sequence of Vibrio sp Strain EJY3, an Agarolytic Marine Bacterium Metabolizing 3,6-Anhydro-L-Galactose as a Sole Carbon Source

Abstract

metabolic fate of 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose (L-AHG) is unknown in the global marine carbon cycle. Vibrio sp. strain EJY3 is an agarolytic marine bacterium that can utilize L-AHG as a sole carbon source. To elucidate the metabolic pathways of L-AHG, we have sequenced the complete genome of Vibrio sp. strain EJY3.
