Heavy-metal resistance of a France Vineyard soil bacterium, pseudomonas mendocina strain S5.2, revealed by whole-genome sequencing

Abstract

Here we present the draft genome of Pseudomonas mendocina strain S5.2, possessing tolerance to a high concentration of copper. In addition to being copper resistant, the genome of P. mendocina strain S5.2 contains a number of heavy-metal-resistant genes known to confer resistance to multiple heavy-metal ions. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
