Complete genome of marine flavobacterium Dokdonia sp . strain Dokd-P16 isolated from the low-iron waters of the subarctic Northeast Pacific Ocean

The genome of Dokdonia sp. strain Dokd-P16, isolated from iron-limited waters of the subarctic Northeast Pacific Ocean, shows evidence of adaptation to iron/nutrient-limiting conditions. These include coding sequences for two putative rhodopsins and for proteins involved in iron acquisition and homeostasis, gliding motility and hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates.
