Abstract

Enterobacter mori strain 5-4 is a Gram-negative, motile, rod shaped, and facultatively anaerobic bacterium, which was isolated from a mixture of formation water (also known as oil-reservior water) and crude-oil in Karamay oilfield, China. To date, there is only one E. mori genome has been sequenced and very little knowledge about the mechanism of E. mori adapted to the petroleum reservoir. Here, we report the second E. mori genome sequence and annotation, together with the description of features for this organism. The 4,621,281 bp assembly genome exhibits a G + C content of 56.24% and contains 4,317 protein-coding and 65 RNA genes, including 5 rRNA genes.
