Abstract
Here, we present the whole-genome sequence of an environmental Gram-negative Alishewanella aestuarii strain (HH-ZS), isolated from the hyperalkaline contaminated soil of a historical lime kiln in Buxton, United Kingdom.
Highlights
We present the whole-genome sequence of an environmental Gram-negative Alishewanella aestuarii strain (HH-ZS), isolated from the hyperalkaline contaminated soil of a historical lime kiln in Buxton, United Kingdom
The genus has received further attention following isolations from tidal flats [2], mountainous lakes [3], landfill soils [4], industrially contaminated soils [5], and traditional fermented foods [6]. This genus has received particular attention because of its bioremediation potential and broad temperature and pH ranges for growth [7,8,9]
Following incubation at 25°C for 30 days, a sample of the mixed culture was streaked onto fastidious anaerobe agar and incubated anaerobically (10% H2, 10% CO2, 80% N2; DW Scientific, United Kingdom) at 25°C for three days
Summary
We present the whole-genome sequence of an environmental Gram-negative Alishewanella aestuarii strain (HH-ZS), isolated from the hyperalkaline contaminated soil of a historical lime kiln in Buxton, United Kingdom. The genus Alishewanella was first described by Vogel et al [1] following the isolation of A. fetalis strain CCUG 30811T from the autopsy of a human fetus in Sweden. The genus has received further attention following isolations from tidal flats [2], mountainous lakes [3], landfill soils [4], industrially contaminated soils [5], and traditional fermented foods [6].
