$ gb2gff GCF_009738455.1_ASM973845v1_genomic.gbff | grep yfhX

NZ_CP046527 .   gene    537002  537814  .   +   .   ID=gene-GN312_RS03255;Name=hcaB;Alias=phdD; yfhX;old_locus_tag...

Note the " ;yfhX" which is later parsed into an undefined value column.

Not sure if this is technically allowed in gff and just my regexp in read_gff is bad, but an easy fix for now is to not allow ";" in gff fields generated from the gbk file in the first place.
