Complete genome sequence of Burkholderia caribensis Bcrs1W (NBRC110739), a strain co-residing with phenanthrene degrader Mycobacterium sp. EPa45

•We determined the complete genome sequence of Burkholderia caribensis Bcrs1W.•This strain exhibits positive effects on phenanthrene degradation by co-residing Mycobacterium sp. Epa45.•The genome sequence will be the basis to elucidate mechanisms underlying such effects. Complete genome sequence of Burkholderia caribensis Bcrs1W, isolated from a phenanthrene-degrading mixed culture, was determined. The genomic information of Bcrs1W will be beneficial to elucidating the mechanisms of its positive effects on phenanthrene degradation by co-residing Mycobacterium sp. Epa45, and to exploiting their degradation potentials.
