Draft genome of Rhodococcus sp. no. 34, a soil isolate capable of curcumin degradation

Key Points

Curcumin degradation was observed as a significant metabolic pathway in Rhodococcus sp. no. 34.
The genome assembly includes 51 contigs with a total length of 6,364,057 bp, indicating substantial genetic information.
The N50 of 733,884 bp suggests a relatively high-quality genomic assembly for further analysis.
These findings highlight the potential for bioremediation applications using this soil isolate in environmental cleanup.

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus sp. no. 34, which degrades curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric. The assembled genome consists of 51 contigs totaling 6,364,057 bp, with an N50 of 733,884 bp and a G + C content of 62.5%.
