Draft Genome Sequence of <i>Deinococcus</i> sp. Strain RL Isolated from Sediments of a Hot Water Spring

Abstract

Deinococcus sp. strain RL, a moderately thermophilic bacterium, was isolated from sediments of a hot water spring in Manikaran, India. Here, we report the draft genome (2.79 Mbp) of this strain, which contains 62 contigs and 2,614 coding DNA sequences, with an average G+C content of 69.4%.
