| Abstract | A betaproteobacterium strain GR16-43 was isolated from a surface layer of the Geomnyong Pond in Republic of Korea by a dilution-to-extinction culturing method. We report the whole genome sequence of the strain GR16-43, which contains 4,806,848 bp with a G + C content 67.12%, and to include 4,424 protein-coding genes and 47 transfer RNA genes. The genome was determined to contain the genes encoding carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, nitric oxide reductase, and the sulfur oxidation (sox) gene cluster, highlighting the potential importance of the bacterial group represented by the strain in the cycling of inorganic elements. These results indicate that strain GR16-43 genome showed several traits indicating adaptation of the bacteria to living in freshwater environments. | ||
