Complete genome sequence of <i>Deinococcus sonorensis</i> type strain KR-87: a rare biofilm-producing representative of the genus <i>Deinococcus</i>
Here, we present a complete genome of <i>Deinococcus sonorensis</i> KR-87<sup>T</sup>, a biofilm-producing mesophile from the Arizonan Sonoran Desert. The sequence, assembled using Oxford Nanopore Technologies' long-read sequencing platform, predicts a genome size of 4.78 Mbp, with 6 replicons, 4,361 protein-coding genes, and a G+C content of 69.0%.
