title: High-quality draft genome sequence ofSedimenticola selenatireducensstrain AK4OH1T, a gammaproteobacterium isolated from estuarine sediment.
abstract: Sedimenticola selenatireducensstrain AK4OH1T(= DSM 17993T= ATCC BAA-1233T) is a microaerophilic bacterium isolated from sediment from the Arthur Kill intertidal strait between New Jersey and Staten Island, NY.S. selenatireducensis Gram-negative and belongs to theGammaproteobacteria. Strain AK4OH1Twas the first representative of its genus to be isolated for its unique coupling of the oxidation of aromatic acids to the respiration of selenate. It is a versatile heterotroph and can use a variety of carbon compounds, but can also grow lithoautotrophically under hypoxic and anaerobic conditions. The draft genome comprises 4,588,530 bp and 4276 predicted protein-coding genes including genes for the anaerobic degradation of 4-hydroxybenzoate and benzoate. Here we report the main features of the genome ofS. selenatireducensstrain AK4OH1T.
