Draft Genome Sequences of Klebsiella Species Isolated from the International Space Station

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Isolated across four locations aboard the International Space Station (ISS), 10 bacterial strains were compared using whole-genome sequencing analysis and were phylogenetically identified as Klebsiella . The whole-genome sequences will aid in comparative genomic studies of ISS Klebsiella strains with Earth counterparts, to gain insight into their adaptation to space conditions.
