Whole-genome sequencing of an axenic Achromobacter sp. strain PD1 reveals genomic potential for cyanophycin production

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT This study reports the whole-genome sequence of Achromobacter sp. strain PD1, isolated from a wastewater treatment bioreactor. Using Illumina and Nanopore sequencing, a complete genome of 6,994,232 bp was obtained. This genome contains genes predicted to encode a complete pathway for cyanophycin synthesis, a candidate for nitrogen recovery from wastewater.
