Complete genome sequences of five aquatic <i>Janthinobacterium lividum</i> strains collected in Austria

We report complete circular genomes of five <i>Janthinobacterium lividum</i> strains isolated from Austrian freshwater sources. Genomes (6.3-6.6 Mbp, >99% complete) were assembled using Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Each encodes a full violacein biosynthesis pathway. Phylogenomic analysis places most strains close to the type strains, with one strain more distantly related.
