Bacteria of the genus Shewanella have been studied for their versatile electron-accepting abilities, particularly for extracellular electron transfer via minerals. Shewanella marisflavi ECSMB14101 was isolated from naturally formed biofilms in the East China Sea. The genome of S. marisflavi ECSMB14101 encodes 3891 genes with a total size of 4,343,492 bp in one chromosome. Its GC content is 49.89%. S. marisflavi ECSMB14101 is able to synthesize a red pigment, which may be achieved through Cytochrome c3 and electron transfer to reduce Fe(III) oxide. The genomic data presented here could provide fundamental insights to better understand the physiological characteristics of S. marisflavi, the ecological significance of red pigment synthesis, and its inductive effects on the settlement of marine invertebrate larvae.

Shewanella属细菌因其多功能的电子接受能力而被研究，特别是通过矿物质进行细胞外电子转移。Shewanella marisflavi ECSMB14101 是从东海自然形成的生物膜中分离出来的。S. marisflavi ECSMB14101的基因组在一条染色体中编码 3891 个基因，总大小为 4,343,492 bp。其GC含量为49.89%。S. marisflavi ECSMB14101 能够合成红色颜料，这可以通过细胞色素 c3 和电子转移来还原 Fe(III) 氧化物来实现。这里提供的基因组数据可以提供基本的见解，以更好地了解S. marisflavi的生理特征，红色素合成的生态意义及其对海洋无脊椎动物幼虫沉降的诱导作用。
