Abstract

Abstract Cellulophaga lytica (Lewin 1969) Johansenet al. 1999 is the type species of the genusCellulophaga which belongs to the familyFlavobacteriaceae within the phylum 'Bacteroidetes ' and was isolated from marine beach mud in Limon, Costa Rica. The species is of biotechnological interest because its members produce a wide range of extracellular enzymes capable of degrading proteins and polysaccharides. After the genome sequence ofCellulophaga algicola this is the second completed genome sequence of a member of the genusCellulophaga . The 3, 765, 936 bp long genome with its 3, 303 protein-coding and 55 RNA genes consists of one circular chromosome and is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
