# Complete genome sequence of Burkholderia contaminans PCR-C_Y9 isolated from Pericarpium citri reticulatae 'Chachiensis'

## TL;DR

This paper reports the full genome sequence of a bacterium that degrades lipids in aged citrus pericarps.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome sequence of Burkholderia contaminans PCR-C_Y9 and its potential role in pericarp aging.

## Key findings

- The genome size is 8.70 Mbp with a GC content of 66.23%.
- The bacterium can degrade lipids in Pericarpium citri reticulatae.
- Genome annotation helps understand its properties and aging contribution.

## Abstract

Burkholderia contaminans PCR-C_Y9 was isolated from Pericarpium citri reticulatae ‘Chachiensis’ (PCR-C), the natural aged pericarps of Citrus reticulata Blanco ‘Chachiensis.’ It could degrade PCR-C lipids. Its genome was sequenced as 8.70 Mbp with a guanine–cytosine content 66.23%. It was annotated to understand properties and possible contribution to aging of PCR-C.
