Draft genome sequence of Cupriavidus sp. strain SK-3, a 4-chlorobiphenyl- and 4-clorobenzoic acid-degrading bacterium

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Cupriavidus sp. strain SK-3, which can use 4-chlorobiphenyl and 4-clorobenzoic acid as the sole carbon source for growth. The draft genome sequence allowed the study of the polychlorinated biphenyl degradation mechanism and the recharacterization of the strain SK-3 as a Cupriavidus species.
