Abstract
At present, Joostella marina Quan et al. 2008 is the sole species with a validly published name in the genus Joostella, family Flavobacteriacae, phylum Bacteriodetes. It is a yellow-pigmented, aerobic, marine organism about which little has been reported other than the chemotaxonomic features required for initial taxonomic description. The genome of J. marina strain En5T complements a list of 16 Flavobacteriaceae strains for which complete genomes and draft genomes are currently available. Here we describe the features of this bacterium, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. This is the first member of the genus Joostella for which a complete genome sequence becomes available. The 4,508,243 bp long single replicon genome with its 3,944 protein-coding and 60 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
Highlights
Strain En5T (= DSM 19592 = KCTC 12518 = CGMCC 1.6973) is the type strain of Joostella marina [1], which is the type species of the monospecific genus Joostella that was named after P.J
J. marina was isolated by dilution-plating on marine agar 2216 (Difco) from coastal seawater in the East Sea of Korea
The genome of strain En5T complements a list of 16 Flavobacteriaceae [5,6] strains for which complete genomes and draft genomes are already available
Summary
Strain En5T (= DSM 19592 = KCTC 12518 = CGMCC 1.6973) is the type strain of Joostella marina [1], which is the type species of the monospecific genus Joostella that was named after P.J. Jooste, who first proposed the family Flavobacteriaceae [1]. A second species name, ‘Joostella atrarenae’ [2] has been effectively published but not yet appeared on a validation list. We present a summary classification and a set of features for J. marina En5T together with the description of the complete genomic sequencing and annotation. The genome of strain En5T complements a list of 16 Flavobacteriaceae [5,6] strains for which complete genomes and draft genomes are already available
