Complete genome sequence of Deinococcus sonorensis type strain KR-87: a rare biofilm-producing representative of the genus Deinococcus

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Here, we present a complete genome of Deinococcus sonorensis KR-87 T , a biofilm-producing mesophile from the Arizonan Sonoran Desert. The sequence, assembled using Oxford Nanopore Technologies’ long-read sequencing platform, predicts a genome size of 4.78 Mbp, with 6 replicons, 4,361 protein-coding genes, and a G+C content of 69.0%.
