Genome Sequence of the Algicidal Bacterium Kordia algicida OT-1

Abstract

Kordia algicida OT-1 is an algicidal bacterium against the bloom-forming microalgae. The genome sequence of K. algicida revealed a number of interesting features, including degradation of macromolecules, the biosynthesis of carotenoid pigment and secondary metabolites, and the capacity for gliding motility, which might facilitate the understanding of algicidal mechanisms.igment and secondary metabolites, and the capacity for gliding motility, which might facilitate the understanding of algicidal mechanisms.
