Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PFK10, isolated from the common effluent treatment plant (CETP) of the Ankleshwar industrial area of Gujarat, India. The 6.04-Mb draft genome sequence of strain PFK10 provides information about the genes encoding enzymes that enable the strain to decolorize and degrade textile azo dye.

Highlights

We report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PFK10, isolated from the common effluent treatment plant (CETP) of the Ankleshwar industrial area of Gujarat, India
Rapid industrialization has resulted in excessive environmental pollution, with one of the major sources being textile industry effluents
When the obtained sequence reads were subjected to reference-guided assembly against the whole-genome sequence of the organism P. aeruginosa M18 using GS Reference Mapper software version 2.3, the obtained draft genome of 6,041,907 bp showed the presence of 206 contigs of Ͼ200 bp in size

Summary

Introduction

We report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PFK10, isolated from the common effluent treatment plant (CETP) of the Ankleshwar industrial area of Gujarat, India. Rapid industrialization has resulted in excessive environmental pollution, with one of the major sources being textile industry effluents. Synthetic dyes are used in textile, cosmetic, and food industries.
