Abstract
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.
Highlights
Introduction and ResultsMicrobially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), a widespread process among microorganisms, has been widely exploited in biotechnology, with applications in the remediation of metal contaminated soil and groundwater [1,2], long-term atmospheric CO2 sequestration [1], the strengthening and consolidation of soil and sand [3], the reduction of the porosity of geological formations [4], the protection and repair of concrete and cement structures [5], and the conservation of monumental calcareous stones [6]
