Abstract

Complete Genome Sequence of Brevibacterium linens BS258, a Potential Marine Actinobacterium for Environmental Remediation via Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation

Zhu Y, Wu S and Suna C

Brevibacterium linens BS258 is a urease positive actinobacterium isolated from marine sediment of China Yellow Sea, which demonstrated to have strong capability of calcite precipitation and bioremediation of heavy metal pollution. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this strain, which might provide a lot of valuable information for environmental remediation, wastewater treatment and atmospheric CO2 sequestration.
