# Draft genome sequence of Agarivorans aestuarii strain ZMCS4, a putative CAZyme-producing bacteria isolated from the marine brown algae Cladostephus spongiosus

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a bacteria strain that may produce enzymes for breaking down marine algae.

## Contribution

The study provides a new draft genome sequence of Agarivorans aestuarii ZMCS4 linked to potential CAZyme production.

## Key findings

- The genome is 4.5 Mbp with 25 contigs and 4,128 coding sequences.
- The genome may help understand enzymes involved in algal cell wall hydrolysis.

## Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Agarivorans aestuarii strain ZMCS4, isolated from Cladostephus spongiosus. The assembled genome consists of 4.5 Mbp, comprising 25 contigs and 4,128 coding sequences. This genome will provide insights into further studies on relevant CAZymes involved in the hydrolysis of algal cell walls.
