Abstract

Morganella morganii WA01/MUTU is a heavy metal tolerant strain capable of producing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from AgNO₃. Here we present the draft genome sequence of M. morganii WA01/MUTU isolated from a water sample collected in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand. The draft genome was sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq 550 sequencer. The genome consisted of 34 contigs with a total size of 3,991,804 bp, an N50 value of 364,423 bp and a GC content of 50.93%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) between WA01/MUTU and Morganella morganii (NBRC 3848) was 83.9%, identifying the strain as Morganella morganii. The data presented here can be used in comparative genomics to identify gene clusters involved in AgNP biosynthesis and secondary metabolite production. The draft genome sequence data was deposited at NCBI under Bioproject accession number PRJNA493966.
