## Abstract

Microorganisms that co-produce high-value bioproducts, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and carotenoids, are of great industrial interest. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Paracoccus marcusii strain LL1, a bacterium isolated from Lonar Lake, India, that co-produces both PHA and carotenoids.
