Abstract
Pseudomonas plecoglossicida TND35 is a potent nicotine-degrading bacterium. The draft genome sequence of strain TND35 contains 6,209,227 bp, 5,511 coding genes, and a G+C content of 62.3%. It encompasses genes related to catabolism of nicotine, N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds, heavy metal degradation, and butanol biosynthesis.

Summary
Pseudomonas plecoglossicida TND35 is a potent nicotine-degrading bacterium. The draft genome sequence of strain TND35 contains 6,209,227 bp, 5,511 coding genes, and a G؉C content of 62.3%. Tobacco wastes that contain the principle alkaloid nicotine are harmful to human health and pollute the environment [1]. A novel nicotine-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas plecoglossicida TND35, was isolated, identified, and deposited at the bacterial culture collection center, Department of Biotechnology, Pondicherry University, India. The 16S rRNA sequence of strain TND35 was deposited at GenBank database under accession no. This bacterium utilizes nicotine and employs a variant of the pyrrolidine pathway of nicotine biodegradation [1].
