Complete Genome Sequence of the Carotenoid-Producing Deinococcus sp. Strain AJ005

The novel species Deinococcus sp. strain AJ005, isolated from King George Island, synthesizes a red carotenoid. Its complete genome is made up of a single circular chromosome (3,380,712 bp, 64.2% G+C content) and four circular plasmids.
