Abstract
We report here the draft genome sequence of Aeromonas molluscorum 848T, the type strain of this Aeromonas species, which was isolated from wedge shells (Donax trunculus) obtained from a retail market in Barcelona, Spain, in 1997.

The genus Aeromonas Stanier 1943, 213AL, comprises a collection of Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming, oxidase- and catalase-positive, glucose-fermenting, facultatively anaerobic bacteria that are resistant to vibriostatic agent O/129 and generally motile by means of polar flagella [1]
Aeromonas molluscorum was defined on the basis of a group of five strains that were isolated from bivalve molluscs obtained from retail markets in Barcelona in 1997 [3], which clustered together as a separate phenon in a phenotypic study [4]
Summary
We report here the draft genome sequence of Aeromonas molluscorum 848T, the type strain of this Aeromonas species, which was isolated from wedge shells (Donax trunculus) obtained from a retail market in Barcelona, Spain, in 1997. Aeromonas molluscorum was defined on the basis of a group of five strains that were isolated from bivalve molluscs obtained from retail markets in Barcelona in 1997 [3], which clustered together as a separate phenon in a phenotypic study [4]. The type strain of this new Aeromonas species is A. molluscorum 848T (CECT 5864T, LMG 22214T).
