genome bacterial data

I have a list of assembly ids of bacterial genome data, I want to extract the following type of data:

  1. Number of chromosomes
  2. Number of plasmids
  3. Total number of proteins
  4. Chromosome size

How can I extract the information?

Thank you

You can do probably all of that with Entrez Direct.

For example: epost -db assembly -id 39768 | elink -target genome | efetch -format docsum | xtract.pl -element Number_of_Plasmids
