Abstract

A draft genome sequence of an isolate of Arthrobacter koreensis BSB from Santiniketan soil is being published. A. koreensis BSB produces lignocellulases, which are crucial in plant biomass degradation. It is a potential source of enzymes of digestive importance, especially lignocellulases. Genomic DNA was isolated from a single bacterial colony using a QIAgen Blood and Tissue kit (QIAgen Inc., Canada). Illumina HiSeq X performed the DNA sequence, employing 2 × 150 paired-end chemistry, and 8,725,587 reads were obtained, corresponding to a sequence coverage of 755X. The draft genome assembly formed 15 contigs > 200 base pairs in length (N50 value= 446, 958 and L50= 3). The genome size is 3,466,004 base pairs with an average GC percentage of 65.94 %. Annotation and prediction of genes were carried out with Prokka v.1.14.6, and 3,172 CDS, 3236 genes, 58 tRNA genes, 4 rRNA genes, and 2 tmRNA genes were identified.
