| Abstract | We sequenced the genome of the Sphingobacteriaceae bacterium SH-48 isolated from the Sohan stream in Republic of Korea by using a dilution-to-extinction culturing method. The sequences were assembled into a draft genome containing 5,650,162 bp with a G + C content of 35.4% and 4,856 protein-coding genes in 2 contigs. This strain contains the carotenoid biosynthesis genes crtY, crtZ, crtD, crtI, crtB, and crtH as gene clusters. This genomic information provides new insights into the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. | ||
