Abstract

We report the draft genome of an arsenotrophic Achromobacter aegrifaciens BAS32 isolated from arsenic (As)-contaminated soil in Bangladesh. This genome contains several predicted gene clusters for As-conversion, namely, As resistance (arsHCsO), arsenite-oxidizing (aioBA), and arsenate-reducing (arsRCDAB) gene clusters along with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).

Keywords: A. aegrifaciens; arsenic (As); arsenotrophic; draft genome; pollution; soil.
