Complete genome sequence of the polychlorinated biphenyl-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas putida KF715 (NBRC 110667) isolated from biphenyl-contaminated soil

Abstract

Pseudomonas putida KF715 (NBRC 110667) utilizes biphenyl as a sole source of carbon and degrades polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Here, we report a complete genome sequence of the KF715 strain, which comprises a circular chromosome and four plasmids. Biphenyl catabolic genes were located on the largest plasmid, pKF715A.
