We report the draft genome sequence of Hafnia alvei GB001, isolated from cheese to provide insights into its physiology.. Hafnia alvei strain:GB001

Hafnia alvei is part of the normal human gastrointestinal flora and has also been isolated from water and food. In dairy products, it may contribute to the production of the desired organoleptic properties. The availability of the genome sequence of Hafnia alvei GB001 will allow comparative genomic studies for the analysis of genetic determinants involved in the ability of bacteria to grow in cheeses and provide data for investigating the generation of functional properties.
