Abstract

Serratia sp. B1 is a bacterial species isolated from soil highly impacted by perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, a family of biopersistent contaminants colloquially known as "forever chemicals." Here, we report the genome of Serratia sp. B1, sequenced with Oxford Nanopore Technology. The genome consists of one 5.14 Mbp chromosome and one 92 kb plasmid.
