# Draft genomes of three bacteria capable of growing on cocamidopropyl betaine or N,N,N-trimethylglycine (betaine): Cupriavidus sp. CuC1, Variovorax sp. VaC1, and Pseudomonas sp. PsB

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genomes of three bacteria that can grow on specific types of betaine compounds.

## Contribution

The study provides new draft genomes of bacteria with unique growth capabilities on betaine derivatives.

## Key findings

- Pseudomonas sp. PsB can grow on betaine but not on cocamidopropyl betaine.
- Cupriavidus sp. CuC1 and Variovorax sp. VaC1 can grow only on cocamidopropyl betaine.
- The genomes of these bacteria were sequenced and reported.

## Abstract

We report three draft genome sequences of Pseudomonas sp. PsB, Cupriavidus sp. CuC1, and Variovorax sp. VaC1. Pseudomonas sp. PsB can grow on N,N,N-trimethylglycine (betaine), but not on cocamidopropyl betaine (CPB), as a sole carbon source. Cupriavidus sp. CuC1 and Variovorax sp. VaC1 can grow only on CPB.
