Draft genome sequence and comparative analysis of the superb aromatic-hydrocarbon degrader Rhodococcus sp. strain DK17

Abstract

Rhodococcus sp. strain DK17 is capable of utilizing various derivatives of benzene and bicyclics containing both aromatic and alicyclic moieties as sole carbon and energy sources. Here, we present the 9,107,362-bp draft genome sequence of DK17 and its genomic analysis in comparison with other members of the genus Rhodococcus. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
