Abstract

•The whole genome of Arthrobacter sp. ZXY-2 was obtained.•The strain was capable of degrading atrazine excellently with salinity resistance.•The mechanism of high atrazine degradation efficiency was revealed.•Sets of genes related to high-salinity resistance were identified.

An atrazine-degrading strain Arthrobacter sp. ZXY-2 was originally isolated from Jilin Pesticide Plant (China). Strain ZXY-2 demonstrated excellent atrazine degradation performance and saline tolerance. Here we report the complete genome sequence of strain ZXY-2 contained a circular chromosome and five circular plasmids encoding for the mechanism of salt adaptation and pollutant degradation.
