Aquimarina sp. strain I32.4 (formerly Aquimarina sp. ' homaria ') is a putative pathogen involved in epizootic shell disease in the American lobster ( Homarus americanus ). We report here the draft genome sequence for Aquimarina sp. strain I32.4 and describe virulence factors that may provide insight into its mechanism of pathogenicity.
