Abstract

We report the draft genomes of seven bacterial strains (six Pseudomonas spp. and one Rheinheimera sp.) isolated from environmental water samples from oil sands tailings ponds that have accumulated a wide variety of organic compounds, salts and metals.

Keywords: Pseudomonas; Rheinheimera; bioremediation; bitumen; oil sands.
