# Complete genome of a Pseudomonas sp. KK18 isolated from an Antarctic sediment exhibited genes related to plant growth-promoting potential

## TL;DR

This paper presents the complete genome of a Pseudomonas strain from Antarctica that has genes linked to promoting plant growth.

## Contribution

The study provides the first complete genome of Pseudomonas sp. KK18 with evidence of plant growth-promoting genes.

## Key findings

- The genome is 7.3 Mb with 61% GC content and high completeness.
- It contains genes related to plant growth promotion and secondary metabolite biosynthesis.

## Abstract

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas sp. KK18, isolated from the Antarctic Ross Sea sediment. The isolate has a genome size of 7.3 Mb, 61% GC content, 100% completeness, and 0.36% contamination. The genome harbors genes associated with plant growth promotion and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites.
