Complete genome sequence of Francisella salimarina GTC22824 isolated from coastal seawater in Osaka, Japan.
Francisella salimarina is Gram-stain-negative coccobacilli of small size, belonging to family Francisellaceae. This species was first isolated from coastal seawater  in 2020. In this study, we present a complete genome sequence of Francisella salimarina isolated from coastal seawater in Osaka prefecture, Japan. This strain was initially identified using a MALDI-Biotyper, following the manufacturer's instructions (Bruker Japan). The identity of the strain was confirmed by determining the sequences of the 16S rRNA gene. The whole genome sequence of this strain was determined. The sequencing was performed through a combination of long-read sequencing by nanopore (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) and short-read sequencing by NextSeq1000 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).
