Complete Genome Sequence of Enterobacter xiangfangensis Pb204, a South African Strain Capable of Synthesizing Gold Nanoparticles.

Enterobacter xiangfangensis Pb204, isolated from acid mine decant from a uranium mine, produces a wide variety of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), ranging from large triangular plates to small spherical AuNPs. The complete genome sequence of this isolate incorporates an integrative and conjugative element which may be pivotal to AuNP synthesis.
