Abstract

Cells of Deinococcus puniceus DY1T are Gram-positive, coccusshaped, and crimson color-pigmented. Strain DY1T was isolated from soil irradiated with 5 kGy gamma radiation and showed resistance to UVC and gamma radiation. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of a bacterium Deinococcus puniceus DY1T is consist of circular chromosome comprised of 2,971,983 bp, with the G + C content of 62.5%. The complete genome sequence was obtained using the PacBio RS II platform, it included 2,617 coding sequences (CDs), 2,762 genes, and 88 pseudogene.
