Complete genome sequence of <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> sp. WCU1 isolated from lager beer
In investigating potential flavor-altering microbiota in beer, we isolated a new bacterial species, <i>Bradyrhizobium</i> sp. WCU1, from a commercially available beer. We report its complete genome sequence, which includes genes for survival at low pH, growth on maltose, and for photosynthetic processes. The isolate does not contain nitrogen-fixation genes.
