Abstract

We report here the complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli ME8067, an azide-resistant laboratory strain used for conjugation experiments. The ME8067 genome was closely related to E. coli strain K-12 substrain W3110. This genome sequence will support further genetic analysis of conjugative elements.
