Draft Genome Sequence of a Dissimilatory U(VI)-Reducing Bacterium, Shewanella xiamenensis Strain DCB2-1, Isolated from Nitrate- and Radionuclide-Contaminated Groundwater in Russia

Abstract

Here, we describe the draft genome sequence of <i>Shewanella xiamenensis</i> strain DCB2-1, isolated from nitrate- and radionuclide-contaminated groundwater. This strain is able to reduce nitrate, Tc(VII), Cr(VI), Fe(III), and U(VI), and its genome sequence contains several gene sets encoding denitrification, resistance to heavy metals, and reduction of metals and metalloids.
