Draft Genome Sequence of Pelosinus fermentans JBW45, Isolated during <i>In Situ</i> Stimulation for Cr(VI) Reduction

Abstract

Pelosinus fermentans JBW45 is an anaerobic, lactate-fermenting bacterium isolated from Cr(VI)-contaminated groundwater at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation 100-H site (Washington) that was collected after stimulation with a polylactate compound. The genome sequence of this organism will provide insight into the metabolic potential of a predominant population during stimulation for metal-reducing conditions.
