Genome Sequence of the Halophilic Bacterium Kangiella spongicola ATCC BAA-2076T

The Gram-negative genus Kangiella contains a number of halophilic species that display high levels of iso-branched fatty acids. Kangiella spongicola was isolated from a marine sponge, Chondrilla nucula, from the Florida Keys in the United States. A genome assembly of 2,825,399 bp with a 44.31% G+C content was generated from strain A79T (=ATCC BAA-2076T)

Draft Genome Sequence of the Psychrotolerant Bacterium Kurthia sibirica ATCC 49154T

The aerobic, Gram-positive, psychrotolerant bacterium Kurthia sibirica was first isolated from the stomach and intestinal contents of the Magadan mammoth recovered from the permafrost in eastern Siberia in 1977. K. sibirica was sequenced, and the predicted genome size is 3,496,665 bp, with 36.42% G+C content
