Complete Genome Sequence of Shigella sonnei Strain SE6-1, Capable of Selenate Reduction

Abstract

We report the complete genome sequence of selenate [Se(VI)]-reducing Shigella sonnei SE6-1, which was isolated from stream sediment from an industrial complex in Jeonju, South Korea. The genome sequence is 4,762,774 bp long, with a G+C content of 50.7% and 4,548 genes, including 4,440 coding sequences, 22 rRNA genes, and 86 tRNA genes.
