Draft genome sequence of oil-degrading bacterium Gallaecimonas pentaromativorans strain YA_1 from the southwest Indian Ocean

Abstract

Gallaecimonas pentaromativorans has been previously reported to be capable of degrading crude oil and diesel oil. G. pentaromativorans strain YA_1 was isolated from the southwest Indian Ocean and can degrade crude oil. This study reports the draft genome sequence of G. pentaromativorans, which can provide insights into the mechanisms of microbial oil biodegradation.
