The raw next-generation sequencing data of Flavivirga sp. strain 57AJ16
Flavivirga sp. 57AJ16, a chitin-degrading bacterium, was isolated from intertidal sediment collected from the Yellow Sea of China using a long-term enrichment strategy with colloidal chitin. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain 57AJ16. Whole-genome sequencing was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq platform using paired-end 150 bp reads.
