Draft whole genome sequence for four highly copper resistant soil isolates Pseudomonas lactis strain UKR1, Pseudomonas panacis strain UKR2, and Pseudomonas veronii strains UKR3 and UKR4.

ABSTRACT: Environmental copper pollution causes major destruction to ecological systems, which require the development of environmentally friendly biotechnological, in particular, microbial methods for copper removal. These methods rely on the availability of microorganisms resistant to high levels of copper. Here we isolated four bacterial strains with record resistance to up to 1.0 M Cu(II). The strains were isolated from ecologically diverse soil samples, and their genomes were sequenced. A 16S rRNA sequence-based phylogenetic analysis identified that all four isolates belong to the genus Pseudomonas. Particularly, strains UKR1 and UKR2 isolated from Kyiv region in Ukraine were identified as P. lactis and P. panacis, respectively, and strains UKR3 and UKR4 isolated from Svalb
