| Summary: | The marine bacterium <i>Labrenzia</i> sp. strain 011 was isolated from the coastal sediment of Kronsgaard, Germany. The <i>Labrenzia</i> species are suggested to be protective agents of mollusks. <i>Labrenzia</i> sp. strain 011 produces specialized metabolites, which showed activity against a range of microorganisms, thereunder strong inhibitory effects against <i>Pseudoroseovarius crassostreae</i> DSM 16,950 (genus <i>Roseovarius</i>), the causative agent of oyster disease. The genome of <i>Labrenzia</i> sp. strain 011 was sequenced and assembled into 65 contigs, has a size of 5.1 Mbp, and a G+C content of 61.6%. A comparative genome analysis defined <i>Labrenzia</i> sp. strain 011 as a distinct new species within the genus <i>Labrenzia</i>, whereby 44% of the genome was contributed to the <i>Labrenzia</i> core genome. The genomic data provided here is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of the mollusk-protective role of <i>Labrenzia</i> spp.
