Abstract

Abstract Saprospira grandis Gross 1911 is a member of theSaprospiraceae, a family in the class 'Sphingobacteria ' that remains poorly characterized at the genomic level. The species is known for preying on other marine bacteriavia 'ixotrophy'.S. grandis strain Sa g1 was isolated from decaying crab carapace in France and was selected for genome sequencing because of its isolated location in the tree of life. Only one type strain genome has been published so far from theSaprospiraceae, while the sequence of strain Sa g1 represents the second genome to be published from a non-type strain ofS. grandis . Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4, 495, 250 bp long Improved-High-Quality draft of the genome with its 3, 536 protein-coding and 62 RNA genes is a part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
