# Complete genome sequence of Planococcus koreensis isolated from soil in Fort Collins, Colorado

## TL;DR

Scientists sequenced the full genome of a soil bacterium called Planococcus koreensis from Colorado and shared it publicly.

## Contribution

The paper provides the first fully assembled genome sequence of Planococcus koreensis.

## Key findings

- The genome is a single circular contig of 3,519,105 base pairs.
- It contains 3,606 genes and 419 pseudogenes with 47.62% GC content.
- The genome is publicly available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

## Abstract

The complete genome of Planococcus koreensis was obtained using Nanopore MinION sequencing after isolation from soil in Colorado. The assembled genome contains one circular contig with 3,519,105 bp, 3,606 genes, 419 pseudogenes, and 47.62% guanine-cytosine content. This discovery provides a fully assembled P. koreensis genome available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
