Abstract: Two bacterial isolates were recovered from wetland sediments from Tims Branch, a heavy metal contaminated wetland located at the Savannah River Site. Draft genomes of the two recovered isolates, Rhodoblastus strain 17X3 and Comamonas strain 17RB, were generated from Illumina MiSeq sequencing data.

Keywords: Rhodoblastus, Comamonas, rhizosphere-inhabiting microbes
