Whole-genome sequencing and annotation of six metallotolerant bacterial isolates recovered from a retention pond at the Rochester Institute of Technology, New York

We report draft genome sequences of six metallotolerant bacterial isolates recovered from copper and zinc supplemented media inoculated with environmental samples collected from a retention pond located on the campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology, New York. These genomes provide resources for investigating environmental adaptation and genetic determinants associated with metal tolerance in freshwater bacteria.
