Abstract

The type strain of Tessaracoccus lapidicaptus was isolated from the deep subsurface of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (southwest Spain). Here, we report its draft genome, consisting of 27 contigs with a ~3.1-Mb genome size. The annotation revealed 2,905 coding DNA sequences, 45 tRNA genes, and three rRNA genes.
