Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of strain OST1909, belonging to a Pseudomonas species. The genome size is 6,306,352 bp, with a G+C content of 59.6%. The isolate was recovered from oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), despite the numerous toxic compounds that accumulate in oil sands tailings ponds.
