Brevibacterium frigoritolerans, a strain quite potential use in environmental pollution, is also able to degrade the pesticide phorate. Here, we report a strain isolated from radioactive soil in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. The genome of strain GD44 encompasses 5,471,331 base pairs with a GC content of 40.42%. The sequence was assembled into 1985 open reading frames (ORFs) encoding 5053 proteins. Sequence analysis identified the genes encoding enzymes related to the degradation of organophosphorus compounds such as esterase, phosphotransferase, C–P lyase, and alkaline phosphatase. The nitrate reductase gene was also found in GD44, which was associated with biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles used for bacteriostat. In addition, Antibiotic Resistance Ontology (ARO) genes accounted for 10.6%, including the vancomycin resistance gene cluster. Therefore, the whole-genome sequence of B. frigoritolerans GD44 will be beneficial for identifying and analyzing genes utilized for soil remediation and antibacterial agent, which will provide genetic evaluation for potential application in the future.
