Complete genome sequence of a marine bacterium, Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes strain S1, with high mercury resistance and bioaccumulation capacity

Abstract

Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes S1, a marine bacterium, exhibited strong resistance to a high concentration of Hg2+ and remarkable Hg2+ bioaccumulation capacity. Here, we report the 6.9-Mb genome sequence of P. pseudoalcaligenes S1, which may help clarify its phylogenetic status and provide further understanding of the mechanisms of mercury bioremediation in a marine environment.
