TL;DR
This paper presents genome sequences of bacteria isolated from a cadmium-polluted site and identifies genes linked to cadmium resistance.
Contribution
The study provides new genome sequences and identifies cadmium-resistance genes in bacteria from a highly contaminated site.
Findings
Eight Methylobacterium and one Methylorubrum strains were isolated from cadmium-contaminated soil.
Draft genome sequences were generated for these strains.
Cadmium-resistance genes were identified in the genomes.
Abstract
Soil bacteria were isolated from the Tar Creek Superfund site in the presence of cadmium. Eight of these strains belong to the genus Methylobacterium, whereas one strain belongs to the genus Methylorubrum. Here, we report drafts of their genome sequences and highlight cadmium-resistance genes required in an exceptionally contaminated environment.
