Draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain KG-21, a soil isolate from oil fields of Krishna-Godavari Basin, India

Abstract

Here, we present the 6.1-Mb draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus rhodochrous strain KG-21, a soil isolate from the oil fields of Krishna-Godavari Basin in Andhra Pradesh, India. This genomic resource may help in the identification of the gene(s) involved in hydrocarbon degradation and their possible deployment for bioremediation.
