Draft Genome Sequence of Chitinophaga, isolated from degrading biomass lignocellulose consortium. Draft Genome Sequence of Chitinophaga, isolated from degrading biomass lignocellulose consortium

Chitinophaga comprises microorganisms capable of degrading plant-derived carbohydrates, serving as a source of new tools for the characterization and degradation of plant biomass. Here, we report the draft genome assembly of Chitinophaga with 8.2 Mbp and 7,173 ORFs, isolated from a bacteria consortium that is able to degrade lignocellulose.
