Abstract
Cellvibrio sp. OA-2007 is a Gram-negative, aerobic, and agarolytic bacterium isolated from activated sludge. We present the draft genome sequence of strain OA-2007, composed of 97 contigs, totaling 4,595,379 bp in size, and containing 4,094 open reading frames, with a G+C content of 47.71%.

Galactose produced from agarose has been used for bioethanol production (3), and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose has been reported to have skin-whitening and anti-inflammatory activities (4)
Summary
Agarases are important enzymes in the agar metabolic pathway, with various applications. They have been used to hydrolyze agar into oligosaccharides and monosaccharides such as galactose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose. The oligosaccharides produced by agarose hydrolysis have been reported to exhibit antioxidant activity (1) and to have moisturizing and whitening effects on skin (2). Galactose produced from agarose has been used for bioethanol production (3), and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose has been reported to have skin-whitening and anti-inflammatory activities (4).
