# Draft genomes of five bacteria isolated from Carcharodon carcharias (white shark) and Carcharhinus brachyurus (bronze whaler shark)

## TL;DR

This paper presents draft genomes of five bacteria found on the skin and cloaca of two shark species.

## Contribution

The study provides new genomic data for bacteria isolated from white and bronze whaler sharks.

## Key findings

- Five bacterial species were isolated from the skin and cloaca of two shark species.
- Draft genomes of these bacteria were sequenced and reported.

## Abstract

Here, we isolated five bacterial species from the skin and cloaca of Carcharodon carcharias (white shark) and Carcharhinus brachyurus (bronze whaler or copper shark).
