# Complete genome of Chryseobacterium sp. strain PMSZPI isolated from the subsurface soil of a uranium ore deposit

## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome of a uranium-tolerant bacteria strain isolated from uranium-rich soil.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in sequencing the complete genome of a Chryseobacterium strain with uranium detoxification capabilities.

## Key findings

- The genome of PMSZPI is 4.74 Mb in size.
- The strain shows tolerance to high uranium and heavy metal concentrations.
- The genome provides insights into adaptation mechanisms in uranium-rich environments.

## Abstract

Chryseobacterium sp. strain PMSZPI belongs to the phylum Bacteroidota and was isolated from the subsurface soil of a uranium ore deposit. This strain is noteworthy for its tolerance to high concentrations of uranium and other heavy metals, as well as its ability for uranium detoxification. We present here the 4.74 Mb complete genome of PMSZPI to gain insights into its adaptation and survival strategies in soil enriched with uranium and other heavy metals.
