Complete genome sequence of Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida strain 203N (NBRC 111659), a polyethylene glycol degrader

Abstract

We determined the complete genome sequence of Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida strain 203N, a polyethylene glycol degrader. Because the PacBio assembly (285×coverage) seemed to be full of nucleotide-level mismatches, the Newbler assembly of MiSeq mate-pair and paired-end data was used for finishing and the PacBio assembly was used as a reference. The PacBio assembly carried 414 nucleotide mismatches over 5,953,153 bases of the 203N genome.
