Abstract

We have determined the draft genome sequences of Thiorhodococcus mannitoliphagus and Thiorhodococcus minor for comparison with those of T. drewsii and Imhoffiella purpurea According to average nucleotide identity (ANI) and whole-genome phylogenetic comparisons, these two species are clearly distinct from the Imhoffiella species and T. drewsii.
