Abstract

We report the draft genome of Achromobacter aegrifaciens strain BAW48, a bacterium with a genome size of 6,877,653 bp. This genome comprises gene clusters for arsenic conversion, such as arsenic resistance (arsHCsO), arsenite oxidation (aioBA), and arsenate reduction (arsRCDAB), along with genes for heavy metal and antibiotic resistance.

Keywords: A. aegrifaciens; arsenic (As); draft genome; pollution; tubewell water.

Arsenic transforming gene repertoire of the Achromobacter aegrifaciens strain BAW48. Arsenic (As) transforming gene clusters such as arsenite oxidizing aioBA, arsenate reducing arsRCDAB, and the monomethyl arsenite [MMA(III)] oxidizing ars resistance gene (arsHCsO) are depicted in the BAW48 genome against the reference genome of Achromobacter aegrifaciens strain GDO3. We used SimpleSynteny (http://www.SimpleSynteny.com), a web-based tool to generate this figure.
