Draft Genome Sequence of the Halophilic and Highly Halotolerant Gammaproteobacteria Strain MFB021.

We report the 4.25-Mbp first draft sequence of Gammaproteobacteria strain MFB021, a moderate halophile isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil in Cochin, India. The genome of the strain MFB021 was sequenced to understand the mechanism of hydrocarbon degradation and the halophilicity of the bacterium.

First draft genome sequence of a member of the genus mangrovibacter, isolated from an aquaculture farm in India.

Mangrovibacter sp. MFB070, a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, nitrogen-fixing bacterium, was isolated from an aquaculture farm in Cochin, India. Here, we report the first draft genome sequence of a member of the genus Mangrovibacter, which may help us to elucidate the evolutionary status of this genus. The draft genome sequence of the Mangrovibacter sp. consists of 5,361,682 bp, encoding 4,971 predicted coding sequences in 57 contigs.
