Bacterial genome sequences of uncharacterized Chitinophaga species isolated from the International Space Station.

We report four Chitinophaga sp. strains isolated from wastewater collected onboard the International Space Station. Here, we present three finished and one draft genome. Taxonomic ranks established by genome-based analysis indicate that these Chitinophaga sp. strains represent candidates for a new species.

Genome Sequences of Bacteria Isolated from the International Space Station Water Systems.

We report draft genomes of five bacteria recovered from the U.S. and Russian water systems onboard the International Space Station. The five genera include Ralstonia, Burkholderia, Cupriavidus, Methylobacterium, and Pseudomonas. These sequences will help further the understanding of water reclamation and environmental control and life support systems in space.
