Key Points

To present the draft genome sequence of Aliihoeflea sp. strain PC F10.4 isolated from marine algae.
Isolated Aliihoeflea sp. strain PC F10.4 from Plocamium cartilagineum
Conducted genome assembly to determine sequence length
Analyzed the G + C content and identified protein-coding genes
Draft genome is 4,743,656 base pairs long
G + C content is 61.8%
Contains 4,628 protein-coding genes

Implication

Genome sequencing uncovers genetic details in an alphaproteobacterium, revealing potential biological roles in marine ecosystems.

Abstract

We present the draft genome sequence of Aliihoeflea strain PC F10.4, an alphaproteobacterium isolated from the surface of the red macroalga Plocamium cartilagineum collected at King George Island, Antarctica. The assembled genome is 4,743,656 bp in length, with a G + C content of 61.8% and 4,628 protein-coding genes.
