Genome analysis of Minibacterium massiliensis highlights the convergent evolution of water-living bacteria.

Filtration usually eliminates water-living bacteria. Here, we report on the complete genome sequence of Minibacterium massiliensis, a beta-proteobacteria that was recovered from 0.22-mum filtered water used for patients in the hospital.
