Draft Genome Sequence of the Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium Rhodoferax sp. Strain U11-2br, Isolated from a Mountain Lake on the Ulagan Plateau.

We report the draft genome sequence of an anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium, Rhodoferax sp. strain U11-2br, which was isolated from a freshwater mountain lake on the Ulagan Plateau (Altai, Russia). The assembly contains 4,514,979 bp, with a GC content of 59.9%.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium Rhodomicrobium sp. Strain Az07, Isolated from a Brackish Canal.

Rhodomicrobium sp. strain Az07 was isolated from a brackish canal. The organism is more halotolerant than previously described species of the genus Rhodomicrobium. The Illumina MiSeq system was used to sequence the genome of the isolated strain. The assembly contains 3,291,400 bp, 106 contigs, and a GC content of 62.7%.

Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus erythropolis VKPM Ac-1659, a Putative Oil-Degrading Strain Isolated from Polluted Soil in Siberia.

The draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus erythropolis VKPM Ac-1659, a putative oil-degrading strain, is reported. This genome sequence may provide better insights into the diversity and evolution of the genes responsible for hydrocarbon degradation in soil microorganisms.
