De novo genome project for the aromatic degrader Rhodococcus pyridinivorans strain AK37

Abstract

Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Rhodococcus pyridinivorans AK37 strain NCAIM PB1376, which was isolated from an oil-polluted site in Hungary. R. pyridinivorans AK37 is an aerobic, nonsporulating, nonmotile, Gram-positive bacterium with remarkable aromatic-decomposing activity. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
