Abstract

ABSTRACT We present the draft genome of Serratia surfactantfaciens strain 5b, a cadmium-precipitating bacterium isolated from a cocoa farm soil in Santander, Colombia. It comprises 4.99 Mbp across 28 contigs, 59% GC content, and 99.82% completeness. This genomic resource supports studies on ureolytic microbiologically induced carbonate precipitation and heavy-metal resistance mechanisms.
