Complete genome sequence of the polyethylene terephthalate-degrading bacterium Pseudideonella sakaiensis strain 201-F6, formerly known as Ideonella sakaiensis

Jonas Koh, Bin Cao

ABSTRACT

Using hybrid Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing, we report the first complete, circularized genome of Pseudideonella sakaiensis strain 201-F6, originally described as Ideonella sakaiensis and subsequently reclassified as Piscinibacter sakaiensis : 6,051,261-bp chromosome and 128,612-bp plasmid. It supports molecular studies and highlights an undercharacterized plasmid whose coding DNA sequence are largely poorly annotated.
