Genome sequence of Hydrogenophaga sp. strain PBC, a 4-aminobenzenesulfonate-degrading bacterium

Abstract

Hydrogenophaga sp. strain PBC is an effective degrader of 4-aminobenzenesulfonate isolated from textile wastewater. Here we present the assembly and annotation of its genome, which may provide further insights into its metabolic potential. This is the first announcement of the draft genome sequence of a strain from the genus Hydrogenophaga. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
