Draft genome of iron-oxidizing bacterium Leptospirillum sp. YQP-1 isolated from a volcanic lake in the Wudalianchi volcano, China

Leptospirillum sp. YQP-1, a member of iron-oxidizing bacteria was isolated from volcanic lake in northeast China. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the strain YQP-1 with a total genome size of 3,103,789 bp from 85 scaffolds (104 contigs) with 58.64% G + C content. The genome sequence can be accessed at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession no. LIEB00000000.
