Abstract

Here, we report the complete-genome assemblies of biofilm isolates 201A and 204H. They possess six and seven plasmids, respectively, with a size ranging from 44 kb to 159 kb. Genomic comparisons place the two strains into one new species belonging to the genus Leisingera as novel representatives of the Roseobacter group.
