The complete genome of a <i>Serratia marcescens</i> strain isolated from mosquito excreta
We report here the complete genome of a red-pigmented <i>Serratia marcescens</i> strain isolated from colony <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i> mosquito excreta in New Jersey, U.S.A. The 4,947,975 bp circular chromosome encodes 4,711 genes. Homology searches suggest close relatedness to strain JW-CZ2, isolated from the soil rhizosphere in China.
