Draft genome sequences for two metal-reducing Pelosinus fermentans strains isolated from a Cr(VI)-contaminated site and for type strain R7.

ABSTRACT

Pelosinus fermentans 16S rRNA gene sequences have been reported from diverse geographical sites since the recent isolation of the type strain. We present the genome sequence of the P. fermentans type strain R7 (DSM 17108) and genome sequences for two new strains with different abilities to reduce iron, chromate, and uranium.
