Permanent draft genome sequences of cadmium-resistant isolates of Cupriavidus from soils within the Tar Creek Superfund site.

Abstract

Soil samples taken near the abandoned town of Picher, OK, USA, were used to enrich and isolate bacteria in the presence of cadmium. Isolates reported belong to the genus Cupriavidus. Here, we report their permanent draft sequences with an emphasis on genes conferring resistance to cadmium.
