## TL;DR

This paper presents the full genome sequence of a Serratia marcescens strain found in mosquito waste from New Jersey.

## Contribution

The study provides the complete genome of a newly isolated Serratia marcescens strain from mosquito excreta.

## Key findings

- The genome is 4,947,975 bp long and contains 4,711 genes.
- The strain is closely related to a Serratia marcescens strain from Chinese soil.

## Abstract

We report here the complete genome of a red-pigmented Serratia marcescens strain isolated from colony Culex quinquefasciatus mosquito excreta in New Jersey, U.S.A. The 4,947,975 bp circular chromosome encodes 4,711 genes. Homology searches suggest close relatedness to strain JW-CZ2, isolated from the soil rhizosphere in China.
