Draft genome sequence of the dye-decolorizing and nanowire-producing bacterium Shewanella xiamenensis BC01

Abstract

Shewanella xiamenensis BC01 is an important biodecolorizing and nanowire-producing bacterium which was found in Xiamen, China. Here, we present the draft genome sequence consisting of 4,677,169 bp (GC content, 46.21%) and 3,999 coded proteins. This information boosts insight into and understanding of the genetic evolution of Shewanella species.
