Whole genome sequence analysis of Cupriavidus campinensis S14E4C, a heavy metal resistant bacterium.

ABSTRACT: Cupriavidus sp. are model organisms for heavy metal(loid) resistance and aromatic compound's degradation studies and these characteristics make them a perfect candidate for biotechnological purposes. Bacterial strain S14E4C (identified as Cupriavidus campinensis) was isolated from a playground by enrichment method in a 0.25 mM containing medium. The analysis revealed that this bacterium is able to tolerate high concentrations of heavy metal(loid)s: Cd up to 19.5 mM, Pb to 9 mM, Hg to 5.5 mM and As to 2 mM in heavy metal(loid) salt containing nutrient medium. The whole genome data and analysis of the type strain of C. campinensis CCUG:44526^T have not been available so far, thus here we present the genome sequencing results of strain S14E4C of the same species. Analysis was carrie
