Draft genome sequence of the Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium Oxalobacteraceae sp. AB_14

October 24, 2019

Biological Mn(II) oxidation produces reactive manganese oxides that help to mitigate metal contamination in the environment. Here we present the genome of Oxalobacteraceae sp. AB_14, a species of Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) notable for its ability to catalyze Mn oxidation at low pH (5.5).
