Azotobacter chroococcum strain W5 (MTCC 25045) is an effective diazotrophic bacterium with plant growth-promoting traits. Here, we report the draft genome assembly of this biologically and agronomically evaluated A. chroococcum strain. The genome assembly in 55 contigs is 4,617,864 bp long, with a G+C content of 66.83%.
