Abstract

The genomes of three Marinobacter strains, isolated from saline fluids produced from a Utica-Point Pleasant shale well, have been sequenced. These genomes provide novel information on the degradation of petroleum distillates and virulence mechanisms under microaerophilic conditions in fractured shale.
