We investigated the whole genome sequence of a freshwater agar-degrading bacterium <i>Cellvibrio</i> sp. KY-GH-1 (KCTC13629BP) to explore genetic information encoding agarases which hydrolyze agar into its monomers. The complete genome of KY-GH-1 comprised 5,762,391 base pairs (bp) with 47.9% GC content, and contained 5080 protein-encoding sequences, including nine β-agarase genes and two α-neoagarobiose hydrolase (α-NABH) genes in an agarase gene cluster spanning approximately 77 kb. Based on t ...[more]
