Complete genome sequences of Micrococcus luteus isolated from the radioactive element-containing water in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station unit 2

Four bacterial strains with yellow-colored colonies, which were isolated from the radioactive element-containing water in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station unit 2, were identified as Micrococcus luteus . Here, we present the complete genome sequences of these species assembled via a combination of short-read and long-read sequencing techniques.
