Betaproteobacterium strain CB is a typical minute freshwater bacterium, representing the small-cell bacteria that are numerically dominant in most freshwater environments. The genome of betaproteobacterium CB consists of a circular 2,045,720-bp chromosome, and the information we report will provide insights into the mechanisms underlying its survival and ecological function.
