Draft genome sequences of marine flavobacterium Nonlabens strains NR17, NR24, NR27, NR32, NR33, and Ara13

Abstract

Here, we present the draft genome sequences of six carotenoid producers affiliated with Nonlabens spp. isolated from marine environments in both the northern and southern parts of Japan. The genomic information will help to elucidate the function and evolution of carotenoid synthetic gene clusters not only in the genus Nonlabens but also in the family Flavobacteriaceae.
