# Whole-genome sequence of Micrococcus sp. strain HOU01 isolated from potato root

## TL;DR

Scientists sequenced the genome of a Micrococcus strain from a potato root to better understand its role in plant growth.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of Micrococcus sp. strain HOU01 isolated from a potato root.

## Key findings

- The genome is circular with a size of 2,552,707 bp.
- It has a GC content of 72.5%.

## Abstract

Endophytes play important roles in potato production. The whole genome of endophytic Micrococcus sp. Strain HOU01, isolated from potato root grown at Vietnam National University of Agriculture, Hanoi, Vietnam, was sequenced using Oxford Nanopore’s PromethION platform. The complete circular genome is 2,552,707 bp with a GC content of 72.5%.
