Draft genome sequence of Flavobacteriaceae isolated from sweetfish in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. unclassified Flavobacteriaceae

The pathogens were isolated from the cold water disease-affected sweetfish collected in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Like all Flavobacterium species, they are strictly aerobic, rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria that do not form spores. Generational sequencing technique was used to sequence the bacterial draft genome. Several potent virulence factors of bacteria belonging to the phylum Bacteroidetes have been suggested by analyzing the genomic information. Therefore, genomic information is essential for assessing pathogenicity and host interactions. This genomic information may provide insight into the functional activity of this strain.
