title: Genome Information ofMaribacter dokdonensisDSW-8 and Comparative Analysis with OtherMaribacterGenomes.
abstract: Maribacter dokdonensisDSW-8 was isolated from the seawater off Dokdo in Korea. To investigate the genomic features of this marine bacterium, we sequenced its genome and analyzed the genomic features. Afterde novoassembly and gene prediction, 16 contigs totaling 4,434,543 bp (35.95% G+C content) in size were generated and 3,835 protein-coding sequences, 36 transfer RNAs, and 6 ribosomal RNAs were detected. In the genome of DSW-8, genes encoding the proteins associated with gliding motility, molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, and utilization of several kinds of carbohydrates were identified. To analyze the genomic relationships amongMaribacterspecies, we compared publically availableMaribactergenomes, including that ofM. dokdonensisDSW-8. A phylogenomic tree based on 1,772 genes conserved among the eightMaribacterstrains showed thatMaribacterspeices isolated from seawater are distinguishable from species originating from algal blooms. Comparison of the gene contents using COG and subsystem databases demonstrated that the relative abundance of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism are higher in seawater-originating strains than those of algal blooms. These results indicate that the genomic information ofMaribacterspecies reflects the characteristics of their habitats and provides useful information for carbon utilization of marine flavobacteria.
