Genome sequence data of Burkholderia sp. IMCC1007 isolated from maize rhizosphere: A potential strain in fusaric acid mycotoxin biodegradation

Burkholderia sp. IMCC1007 is a gram-negative, aerobic bacterium affiliated with class Betaproteobacteria, which was successfully isolated from maize rhizospheric soil sample in UTM research plot, Pagoh, Malaysia by using enrichment method. Strain IMCC1007 utilized 50 mgL-1 fusaric acid as its carbon source and degraded it completely within 14 h. Genome sequencing was performed using Illumina NovaSeq platform. The assembled genome was annotated using RAST (Rapid Annotation Subsystem Technology) server. The genome size was approximately 8,568,405 base pairs (bp) in 147 contigs with a G+C content of 66.04%. The genome includes 8,733 coding sequences and 68 RNAs. The genome sequence has been deposited at GenBank with the accession number of JAPVQY000000000. In the pairwise genome-to-genome comparisons, the strain IMCC1007 had an average nucleotide identity (ANI) of 91.9% and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) value of 55.2% with Burkholderia anthina DSM 16086T respectively. Interestingly, fusaric acid resistance gene (fusC) and nicABCDFXT gene clusters (hydroxylation of pyridine compound) were found in the genome. Additionally, preliminary genome annotation analysis of strain IMCC1007 identified tryptophan halogenase (prnA) gene responsible for antifungal pyrrolnitrin biosynthesis. This dataset herein provides further insights into the fusaric acid degradation mechanism of the genus Burkholderia.
