High-quality draft genome sequence of Burkholderia contaminans CH-1, a Gram-negative bacterium that metabolizes 2-azahypoxanthine, a plant growth-regulating compound

Abstract

Burkholderia contaminans strain CH-1 converts 2-azahypoxnathine to 2-aza-8-oxohypoxanthine, plant growth-regulating compounds, by oxidation. We report here the high-quality draft genome sequence of B. contaminans CH-1. The genome contains 8,065 protein-coding sequences, including several genes possibly involved in metabolizing 2-azahypoxanthine.
