Draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas psychrotolerans L19, isolated from copper alloy coins

J Bacteriol. 2012 Mar;194(6):1623-4. doi: 10.1128/JB.06786-11.

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas psychrotolerans strain L19, isolated from a European 50-cent copper alloy coin. Multiple genes potentially involved in copper resistance were identified; however, it is unknown if these copper ion resistance determinants contribute to prolonged survival of this strain on dry metallic copper.
