# Draft genome of Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium Hydrogenophaga sp. ZJX-1 isolated from coastal sediments in Liaoning, China

## TL;DR

Scientists sequenced the genome of a bacteria that can oxidize manganese, found in coastal sediments in China.

## Contribution

The study provides a draft genome of a Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium and suggests its role in carbon and nitrogen cycles.

## Key findings

- The draft genome is 5,014,722 bp long with a G+C content of 65.94%.
- Genome annotation indicates a link between Mn(II) oxidation and carbon/nitrogen cycling.

## Abstract

The draft genome sequence of Hydrogenophaga sp. ZJX-1, a Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium isolated from coastal sediments of Liaodong Bay, China, consists of 5,014,722 bp with a G+C content of 65.94% and an N50 of 671,809 bp. Genome annotation suggests a potential coupling between Mn(II)-oxidation and carbon/nitrogen cycling.
