## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome sequence of a copper-tolerant Serratia ureilytica strain from a disused mine in Hong Kong.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of Serratia ureilytica KML.E1, a copper-tolerant strain from a tungsten mine.

## Key findings

- The genome is a single chromosome of 5,094,661 bp with 59.68% G+C content.
- The strain can tolerate copper(II) concentrations up to 90 mM.
- The genome was assembled using hybrid assembly methods.

## Abstract

Serratia ureilytica KML.E1 was recovered from a disused tungsten mine in Hong Kong and can tolerate copper(II) concentrations up to 90 mM. Its complete genome, a single chromosome of 5,094,661 bp (59.68% G+ C), was established through hybrid assembly.

## Linked entities

- **Chemicals:** copper(II) (PubChem CID 27099)
