Genome sequence of Flavobacteriaceae sp. strain GF1, isolated from the coral endosymbiotic dinoflagellate

Carotenoid-producing bacteria are widespread in coral reef ecosystems, including coral hosts, unicellular dinoflagellates, and their surrounded seawater. Among them, a marine Flavobacteriaceae sp. strain GF1 was isolated from an endosymbiotic dinoflagellate of coral Galaxea fascicularis. The genome information will encourage our understanding of its taxonomy, evolution, metabolic pathway, and bacteria-algal host interactions.
