Draft genome sequences for three mercury-methylating, sulfate-reducing bacteria

Genome Announc. 2013 Aug 15;1(4):e00618-13. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.00618-13.

Abstract

The genetic basis for bacterial mercury methylation has been described recently. For insights into the physiology of mercury-methylating bacteria, we present genome sequences for Desulfococcus multivorans strain DSM 2059, Desulfovibrio alkalitolerans strain DSM 16529, and Desulfovibrio species strain X2.
