Abstract

Six marine bacterial isolates were obtained from fluid and sediments collected at alkaline serpentinite mud volcanoes of the Mariana forearc to examine life at high pH in a marine environment. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of these six isolates, classified as strains of the species Marinobacter shengliensis.

Keywords: Marinobacter; alkaliphile; serpentinite mud volcano.
