Abstract
Objectives:
Staphylococcus species of the family Staphylococcaceae are facultatively anaerobic Gram-positive cocci growing in clusters, pairs and occasionally in short chains. Staphylococci can be detected in different environments. They are common commensals, but some can also cause infections in humans. Hence, their investigation is required to understand ecology and genetics and to create an opportunity for comparative studies.
Data description:
In this study, we report the determination of a draft genome sequence of Staphylococcus sp. strain EZ-P03 which was isolated from anaerobically digested chicken waste materials. The draft genome of Staphylococcus sp. EZ-P03 constituted a total of 62 contigs (> 500 bp) amounting to 2,689,358 bp with a G+C content of 37.3% and a N50 contig size of 126,562 bp. The whole genome shotgun project of Staphylococcus sp. strain EZ-P03 has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank under the accession number QPMO00000000.
