# Draft genome sequence of Shewanella algae JC874

## TL;DR

This paper presents the genome sequence of a Shewanella algae strain isolated from an alga, which can cause disease in aquatic organisms and humans.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the first draft genome sequence of Shewanella algae strain JC874.

## Key findings

- The genome of S. algae strain JC874 was sequenced and found to be 4.8 Mb in size.
- The strain was isolated from Codium sp. and showed plaques when cultured with Bacillus tequilensis JC1001.

## Abstract

Shewanella algae are ubiquitous. They are pathogens affecting aquatic organisms and are emerging as pathogens to humans. Here, we present the genome of S. algae strain JC874, isolated from an alga, Codium sp. It showed plaques on mixed culture streaking with Bacillus tequilensis JC1001. The genome size is 4.8 Mb.
