Abstract

We report the genome sequences of four <i>Endozoicomonas</i> sp. strains isolated from the octocoral <i>Litophyton</i> maintained long term at an aquarium facility. Our analysis reveals the coding potential for versatile polysaccharide metabolism; Type II, III, IV, and VI secretion systems; and the biosynthesis of novel ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides.
