Genome sequence of the flexirubin-pigmented soil bacterium Niabella soli type strain (JS13-8T).

Niabella soli Weon et al. 2008 is a member of the Chitinophagaceae, a family within the class Sphingobacteriia that is poorly characterized at the genome level, thus far. N. soli strain JS13-8^T is of interest for its ability to produce a variety of glycosyl hydrolases. The genome of N. soli strain JS13-8^T is only the second genome sequence of a type strain from the family Chitinophagaceae to be published, and the first one from the genus Niabella. Here we de-scribe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and anno-tation. The 4,697,343 bp long chromosome with its 3,931 protein-coding and 49 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
