Abstract

Planococcus kocurii ATCC 43650(T) is a halotolerant and psychrotolerant bacterium isolated from the skin of a North sea cod. Here, we present the first complete genome and annotation of P. kocurii ATCC 43650(T), identifying its potential as a plant growth promoting bacterium and its capability in the biosynthesis of butanol.
