Complete genome sequence of Agarivorans gilvus WH0801T, an agarase-producing bacterium isolated from seaweed

Agarivorans gilvus WH0801(T), an agarase-producing bacterium, was isolated from the surface of seaweed. Here, we present the complete genome sequence, which consists of one circular chromosome of 4,416,600 bp with a GC content of 45.9%. This genetic information will provide insight into biotechnological applications of producing agar for food and industry. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
