Genome sequencing and <i>de novo</i> assembly of <i>Photobacterium arenosum</i> isolate from coastal sediment

Genomic analyses have led to the discovery of novel chitinases with emerging applications as environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic chemical pesticides and for processing renewable resources in various industries. Here, we report the sequencing and assembly of the chitinolytic marine bacterium <i>Photobacterium arenosum</i> isolated from coastal sediment from Oostende, Belgium.
