Complete genome of Geobacter pickeringii G13T, a metal-reducing isolate from sedimentary kaolin deposits

Abstract

We used PacBio sequencing to assemble the genome of the pristine freshwater isolate Geobacter pickeringii G13T into a single 3,618,700-bp circular chromosome polished to 99.999% accuracy (quality value [QV], 50). This isolate shares several features with other Geobacter spp., including genes for degradation of aromatics and an abundance of multiheme c-type cytochromes.
