Draft Genome Sequence of a Violacein-Producing Iodobacter sp. from the Hudson Valley Watershed

ABSTRACT Iodobacter species are among a number of freshwater Gram-negative violacein-producing bacteria. Janthinobacterium lividum and Chromobacterium violaceum have had their whole genomes sequenced and annotated. This is the first report of a draft whole-genome sequence of a violacein-producing Iodobacter strain that was isolated from the Hudson Valley watershed.
