Genome sequence of the deep-sea denitrifier Pseudomonas sp. strain MT-1, isolated from the Mariana trench

Abstract

Pseudomonas sp. strain MT-1 was the first deep-sea denitrifier isolated and characterized from mud recovered from a depth of 11,000min the Mariana Trench. We report here the genome sequence of this bacterium, which contributes to our understanding of denitrification and bioenergetics in the deep sea.
