Here, we report draft genome sequences of four novel bacterial species from Atlantic rainforest stream sediments in southeastern Brazil. The genomes represent distinct lineages within Nitrospirota and Pseudomonadota (average nucleotide identity <95% to known species) and encode diverse metabolic capabilities, including nitrification, denitrification, and aromatic compound degradation.
