# Complete genome sequence of fluoroacetate-degrading Caballeronia sp. S22 strain (DSM 8341) as a reference resource for investigations of microbial defluorination

## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a bacterium that can break down fluoroacetate, a toxic compound, offering a resource for studying microbial defluorination.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of a fluoroacetate-degrading Caballeronia strain.

## Key findings

- The genome consists of seven circular replicons totaling 9,367 kb.
- A gene cluster for fluoroacetate utilization is located on a 172 kb plasmid.

## Abstract

A complete genome sequence of Caballeronia sp. strain S22 capable of growing with fluoroacetate as the sole source of carbon and energy was obtained by PacBio technology. It consists of seven circular replicons totaling 9,367 kb, with a gene cluster involved in fluoroacetate utilization on its smallest 172 kb plasmid.
