title: Rhodococcus sp. strain MurmanLake-1
organism: Rhodococcus sp. (in: high G+C Gram-positive bacteria)
description: Laboratory isolate from the departmental culture collection of the Department of Microbiology and Biochemistry, Murmansk Arctic University, provided by Marina Litvinova, originally associated with sediment/soil from Semenovskoye Lake, Murmansk, Russia. The submitted genome corresponds to a decontaminated Rhodococcus-enriched draft fraction derived from a mixed assembly; comparative genomic analysis indicates placement consistent with Rhodococcus erythropolis, but the record is conservatively kept as Rhodococcus sp.
