Complete genome sequence of Sphingomonas sp. strain NIC1, an efficient nicotine-degrading bacterium

Abstract

Sphingomonas sp. strain NIC1, an efficient nicotine-degrading bacterium, was isolated from tobacco leaves. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of strain NIC1, which contains one circular chromosome and two circular plasmids. The genomic information will provide insights into its molecular mechanism for nicotine degradation.
