Whole-genome sequence of cupriavidus sp. Strain BIS7, A heavy-metal-resistant bacterium

Abstract

Cupriavidus sp. strain BIS7 is a Malaysian tropical soil bacterium that exhibits broad heavy-metal resistance [Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Se(IV), Cu(II), chromate, Co(III), Fe(II), and Fe(III)]. It is particularly resistant to Fe(II), Fe(III), and Zn(II). Here we present the assembly and annotation of its genome. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
