Complete genome sequence data of Priestia megaterium strain MARUCO02 isolated from marine mangrove-inhabited sediments of the Indian Ocean in the Bagamoyo Coast.

ABSTRACT: Priestia is a genus of biotechnologically important bacteria adapted to thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions including the marine sediments. Here, we screened and isolated a strain from the Bagamoyo marine mangrove-inhabited sediments and then employed whole genome sequencing to recover and define its full genome. De novo-assembly with Unicycler (v. 0.4.8) and annotation with Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP) revealed that that its genome contains one chromosome (5,549,131 bp), with a GC content of 37.62%. Further analysis showed that the genome contains 5,687 coding sequences (CDS), 4 rRNAs, 84 tRNAs, 12 ncRNAs, and at least 2 plasmids (1,142 bp and 6,490 bp). On the other hand, antiSMASH-based secondary metabolite analysis revealed that the novel s
