Abstract

Abstract Chitinophaga pinensis Sangkhobol and Skerman 1981 is the type strain of the species which is the type species of the rapidly growing genusChitinophaga in the sphingobacterial family 'Chitinophagaceae '. Members of the genusChitinophaga vary in shape between filaments and spherical bodies without the production of a fruiting body, produce myxospores, and are of special interest for their ability to degrade chitin. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the family 'Chitinophagaceae ', and the 9, 127, 347 bp long single replicon genome with its 7, 397 protein-coding and 95 RNA genes is part of theG enomic E ncyclopedia of B acteria and A rchaea project.
