Draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain RB, a bacterium capable of synthesizing cadmium selenide nanoparticles

Abstract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain RB is a bacterium capable of synthesizing cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles and was isolated from a soil sample. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of P. aeruginosa strain RB. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a draft genome of a CdSe-synthesizing bacterium.
