Abstract
We generated a high-quality draft genome sequence of Bacteroidales strain 6E, a strict anaerobe newly isolated from Japanese rice paddy field soil. The genome consists of 61 contigs, with a total size of 4,436,542 bp and mean G+C content of 45.4%. Annotation predicted 3,620 protein-coding and 54 RNA genes.

Bulk soil in paddy fields is anoxic when flooded, and degradation of organic matter is performed by a complex assemblage of bacteria (3), many of which are yet-to-be cultured and characterized
Summary
We generated a high-quality draft genome sequence of Bacteroidales strain 6E, a strict anaerobe newly isolated from Japanese rice paddy field soil. Members of the order Bacteroidales are prevalent in a range of anoxic/anaerobic environments rich in organic carbon (1), suggesting that they represent key populations in such ecosystems. A large number of Bacteroidales have not yet been cultured in the laboratory, including lineages with family-level novelty within the Greengenes database (May 2013 release [2]). We undertook a study aimed at isolating novel Bacteroidales from rice paddy field soil.
