Abstract:
Metabacillus litoralis is part of the newly proposed genus Metabacillus. The bacterium was first isolated from a Yellow Sea tidal flat in 2005. As of May 2022, there are five genomic assemblies deposited in GenBank. We report the 5.2-Mbp genome sequence of M. litoralis strain NCTR108, from commercial tattoo ink.
