Draft Genome Sequences of Five Proteobacteria Isolated from Lechuguilla Cave, New Mexico, USA, and Insights into Taxonomy and Quorum Sensing

Genomic resources remain scarce for bacteria isolated from oligotrophic caves. We sequenced the genomes of five Proteobacteria isolated from Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico. Genome-based phylogeny indicates that each strain belongs to a distinct genus. Two Rhizobiaceae isolates possess genomic potential for the biosynthesis of acyl-homoserine lactone.
