Draft Genome Sequences of Various Bacterial Phyla Isolated from the International Space Station

Abstract

Whole-genome sequences were generated from 96 bacterial strains of 14 species that were isolated from International Space Station surfaces during the Microbial Tracking 2 study. Continued characterization of this closed habitat s microbiome enables tracking of the spread and evolution of secondary pathogens, which is vital for astronaut health.
