Abstract
Genomic resources remain scarce for bacteria isolated from oligotrophic caves. We sequenced the genomes of five Proteobacteria isolated from Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico. Genome-based phylogeny indicates that each strain belongs to a distinct genus. Two Rhizobiaceae isolates possess genomic potential for the biosynthesis of acyl-homoserine lactone.

Initial isolation of the bacterial strains from remote sample sites in Lechuguilla Cave was previously described by Bhullar et al [7]
The genome of LC387 was assembled into a single contig (Table 1)
Summary
Genomic resources remain scarce for bacteria isolated from oligotrophic caves. We sequenced the genomes of five Proteobacteria isolated from Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico. Initial isolation of the bacterial strains from remote sample sites in Lechuguilla Cave was previously described by Bhullar et al [7]. DNA extraction used the GenElute bacterial genomic DNA kit (MilliporeSigma, St. Louis, MO). The paired-end reads were adapter trimmed and assembled with Trimmomatic v0.36 [8] and Unicycler v0.4.7 [9], respectively, using the default settings.
