## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genome sequences of five Mycobacterium strains isolated from the root nodules of Alnus glutinosa trees.

## Contribution

The study provides new draft genome data for five Mycobacterium strains from a non-clinical, plant-associated source.

## Key findings

- The genome sizes of the isolates ranged from 6.1 to 6.9 Mbp.
- N50 values ranged from 303,875 to 865,751 bp with GC% between 66.07% and 66.96%.

## Abstract

Mycobacterium is a clinically relevant genus of bacteria, with this paper reporting draft genomes of five Mycobacterium strains derived from Alnus glutinosa root nodules. The genome sizes of the isolates ranged from 6.1 to 6.9 Mbp, composed of 22–59 contigs. The N50 values ranged from 303,875 to 865,751 bp, presenting a GC% of 66.07%–66.96%.

## Linked entities

- **Species:** Alnus glutinosa (taxon 3517), Mycobacterium (taxon 1763)
