# Draft genome sequence of cadmium-tolerant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PR-5 from industrial contaminated water

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain that can tolerate cadmium, a toxic metal, and may be useful for cleaning up contaminated environments.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new draft genome of a cadmium-tolerant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain with potential for bioremediation.

## Key findings

- The genome is 6.36 Mb with 5,934 genes and a high GC content of 66.5%.
- It contains genes related to metal detoxification, transport, biofilm formation, and chemotaxis.
- The strain shows strong adaptability and potential for cadmium bioremediation.

## Abstract

We report the draft genome of a cadmium-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain, PR5 (6.36 Mb, 66.5% GC, 5,934 genes). Genomic analysis revealed it contains genes for metal detoxification, transport, biofilm formation, and chemotaxis. The analysis reveals the strain’s robust adaptability and its promising role in cadmium bioremediation applications.
