Abstract

Enterobacter hormaechei DVZ29 was isolated from a sediment trap incubated in an ¹²⁹I plume at the Hanford Site (Washington State, USA). A whole genome sequencing of the strain resulted in 32 contigs and revealed that the genome is 4.90 Mb, with a G + C content of 55.61%.

Keywords: Enterobacter; bioremediation.
