Abstract

Herminiimonas contaminans was described as a new bacterial species, a contaminant isolated from a biopharmaceutical production process in Sweden. Since the genome sequence was not available, we performed draft genome sequencing. The genome of strain CCM 7991^T (=CCUG 53591^T = DSM 28178^T = Marseille-Q4544^T) was 4,038,814 bp long, with a G+C content of 53.9%; a total of 3,860 genes were identified, along with 3 rRNAs, 44 tRNAs, and 4 noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs).
