Draft genome sequence data and analysis of Shinella sp. strain JR1-6 isolated from nitrate- and radionuclide-contaminated groundwater in Russia.

ABSTRACT: Shinella sp. strain JR1-6 is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-spore-forming, motile, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from radionuclide- and nitrate-contaminated groundwater. This bacterium reduces nitrate to N2. Strain JR1-6 has potential for removal of nitrate contamination, which is the main reason for the interest in sequencing its genome. Here, we present a set of features of Shinella sp. strain JR1-6, together with the description of its genomic sequencing and annotation. The draft genome of strain JR1-6 has a size of ∼7.09 Mb and contains 6,945 genes, including 62 RNA genes. In the genome of strain JR1-6, the genes were revealed encoding nitrate reduction to N2, as well as the genes associated with metal resistance, showing its adaptation to the conditions of
