• •We present the complete genome sequence of Pseudoalteromonas rubra SCSIO 6842, consisting of two circular chromosomes and one large conjugative plasmid.•P. rubra SCSIO 6842 produces cycloprodigiosin which can be served as an alternative source for synthetic pigments in the food industry.•The availability of complete genome of P. rubra SCSIO 6842 will help to improve our understanding of molecular basis for cycloprodigiosin synthesis and regulation. Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of Gram-negative and is ubiquitously distributed in the ocean. Many Pseudoalteromonas species are capable of producing pigments, which can serve as an alternative source to replace synthetic pigments used in the food industry. Prodigiosins belong to a family of secondary metabolite characterized by a common pyrrolyl pyrromethane skeleton, and have been successfully applied to yogurt, milk and carbonated drinks as substitutes for synthetic additives. The strain Pseudoalteromonas rubra SCSIO 6842 can produce cycloprodigiosin and harbors a conjugative plasmid. Here we report the complete genome of P. rubra SCSIO 6842 for a better understanding of the molecular basis of cycloprodigiosin production and regulation.
