Genome sequence of <i>Cohnella</i> sp. M.A.Huq-80 isolated from pond-side soil located in Anseong, South Korea

This study reports the draft genome sequence of <i>Cohnella</i> sp. M.A.Huq-80, a bacterial strain isolated from the soil sample of a pond located in Anseong, South Korea, in 2021. The genome consists of 6,429,982 base pairs assembled into 45 contigs, encoding 5,416 predicted protein coding genes. Members of the genus <i>Cohnella</i> are significant for their roles in soil ecology and for producing thermostable enzymes valuable in biotechnology and biomass degradation.
