Randomized analysis reveals diverse metabolic capabilities of bacterial species in Atlantic rainforest sediments, suggesting ecological significance.
Here, we report draft genome sequences of four novel bacterial species from Atlantic rainforest stream sediments in southeastern Brazil. The genomes represent distinct lineages within Nitrospirota and Pseudomonadota (average nucleotide identity <95% to known species) and encode diverse metabolic capabilities, including nitrification, denitrification, and aromatic compound degradation.
