Abstract: We report here the draft genome sequence of Serratia sp. strain S1B, comprising 7,710,841 bases, 7,075 coding sequences, a G+C content of 45.9%, and 138 RNAs. Notably, a repertoire of biodegradative genes, several occurring on genomic islands, was also identified, which enhances our understanding of the environmental relevance of Serratia spp.
