title: Genome Sequences of Oblitimonas alkaliphila gen. nov. sp. nov. (Proposed), a Novel Bacterium of the Pseudomonadaceae Family.
abstract: Results obtained through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phenotypic testing of eight related, but unidentified, isolates located in a historical collection at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggested that these isolates belong to a novel genera of bacteria. The genomes of the bacteria, to be named Oblitimonas alkaphilia gen. nov. sp. nov., were sequenced using Illumina technology. Closed genomes were produced for all eight isolates.
