Draft genome sequence data of heavy metal-resistant Morganella morganii WA01/MUTU, a silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesising bacterium.

ABSTRACT: Morganella morganii WA01/MUTU is a heavy metal tolerant strain capable of producing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from AgNO₃. Here we present the draft genome sequence of M. morganii WA01/MUTU isolated from a water sample collected in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand. The draft genome was sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencer. The genome consisted of 34 contigs with a total size of 3,991,804 bp, an N50 value of 364,423 bp and a GC content of 50.93%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) between WA01/MUTU and Morganella morganii (NBRC 3848) was 83.9%, identifying the strain as Morganella morganii. The data presented here can be used in comparative genomics to identify gene clusters involved in AgNP biosynthesis and secondary metabolite prod
