Abstract

Draft genome sequences of 11 strains of putative new species of Geodermatophilaceae were generated using Illumina technology. The genome sizes ranged from 4.19 to 4.99 Mb, with G+C contents of 73.5% to 74.6%, and contained genes for microbial rhodopsins. This study will contribute to our knowledge of the ecology and diversity of members of the family Geodermatophilaceae.
