title: Draft genome sequence of algal polysaccharides degradation bacterium, Flammeovirga sp. OC4.
abstract: Flammeovirga sp. OC4 was isolated from seawater sample of the South China Sea using the method of in-situ-enrichment, which has the ability to degrade algal polysaccharides. Colonies are reddish orange in the exponential growth phase and turn white in the late stationary growth phase, which is the indicator of the bacterial death. Here, we present an annotated draft genome sequence of Flammeovirga sp. OC4, which contains 8,069,312bp with a G+C content of 34.8%. This information regarding the genetic basis of this bacterium can greatly advance our understanding of algal polysaccharides-degrading mechanism and the physiology of this species.
