## Abstract

The free-living protist Acanthamoeba inhabits aquatic and soil environments, feeding on bacteria, algae, and fungi. It acts both as an opportunistic pathogen and a host or vector for pathogenic bacteria. This study presents a novel genome assembly of the Acanthamoeba comandoni strain Pb30/40, comprising a sequence length of 82.3 Mb.
