PAP.153 is 4.12 Mbp in size. - The genome shows potential for producing specialized metabolites, including the chemotaxonomic marker flexirubin. ## Abstract Galbibacter sp. PAP.153 was isolated from a marine sponge. Here, we report its 4.12 Mbp draft genome sequence and rate its specialized metabolite production capacity with specific focus on the chemotaxonomic marker flexirubin. ## Linked entities - **Chemicals:** flexirubin (PubChem CID 6450309) - **Species:** Galbibacter sp. PAP.153 (taxon 3104623) ## Full-text entities - **Chemicals:** flexirubin (MESH:C017313) - **Species:** Galbibacter sp. (species) [taxon 2918471] ## Figures 1 figure with captions in the complete paper: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11237725/full.md --- Source: https://tomesphere.com/paper/PMC11237725
