Draft genome sequence of heavy metalresistant soil bacterium Serratia marcescens S2I7, which has the ability to degrade polyaromatic hydrocarbons

Abstract

Serratia marcescens S2I7 is a heavy metal-resistant, polyaromatic hydrocarbondegrading bacterium isolated from petroleum-contaminated sites. The genome contains one circular chromosome (5,241,555 bp; GC content 60.1%) with 4,533 coding sequences. The draft genome sequence includes specific genetic elements for degradation of hydrocarbons and for heavy metal resistance.
