ABSTRACTZhouia amylolyticaCL16 was isolated from the mangrove soil of Tanjung Piai, Malaysia. The present work reports the draft genome sequence of this bacterium. The genome consists of 113 glycoside hydrolases, 40 glycosyltransferases, 4 polysaccharide lyases, 23 carbohydrate esterases, 5 auxiliary activities, and 27 carbohydrate-binding modules, which warrant further investigation.
