Whole genome sequencing data of Chromobacterium amazonense BASUSDA_45 isolated from soil in Bangladesh capable of degrading pesticide

Abstract

This article reports the Chromobacterium amazonense BASUSDA_45 strain's draft genomic sequence. The bacterium was isolated from cypermethrin pesticide contaminated soil and then the sequencing was carried out. Initially de novo assembly of the raw sequences, trimming and quality check generates 125 contigs having N50 of 78,923. Further mapping of the contigs generated scaffolds. The genome contains 53 scaffolds with a total length of 4,295,151 bp having 62.30% GC content and N50 of 3,726,017. Annotation using Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) reveals 4181 genes among which 4096 were coding sequences, 76 tRNAs, 3 rRNAs, 4 noncoding RNAs. The raw sequence reads and annotated genome were uploaded to NCBI's Bioproject repository with the accession number PRJNA686506.
