Two draft genome sequences ofPseudomonas jesseniistrains isolated from a copper contaminated site in Denmark.
Pseudomonas jesseniiC2 andPseudomonas jesseniiH16 were isolated from low-Cu and high-Cu industrially contaminated soil, respectively.P. jesseniiH16 displayed significant resistance to copper when compared toP. jesseniiC2. Here we describe genome sequences and interesting features of these two strains. The genome ofP. jesseniiC2 comprised 6,420,113 bp, with 5814 protein-coding genes and 67 RNA genes.P. jesseniiH16 comprised 6,807,788 bp, with 5995 protein-coding genes and 70 RNA genes. Of special interest was a specific adaptation to this harsh copper-contaminated environment asP. jesseniiH16 contained a novel putative copper resistance genomic island (GI) of around 50,000 bp.
