Complete Genome Sequence of Sponge-Associated Tenacibaculum mesophilum DSM 13764T

ABSTRACT Here, the complete genome sequence of sponge-associated Tenacibaculum mesophilum DSM 13764T is presented. T. mesophilum is a close relative of the fish pathogen T. maritimum, which causes significant fish disease outbreaks in aquaculture facilities. The T. mesophilum genome sequence will serve as an important resource for comparative genomics approaches.
