Draft Genome Sequence of the Microcystin-Degrading Bacterium Novosphingobium sp. Strain MD-1

Abstract

This report describes the whole-genome sequence of a microcystin-degrading bacterium, Novosphingobium sp. strain MD-1, isolated from a lake in Japan. The Novosphingobium sp. strain MD-1 genome had a total length of 4,617,766 bp. Moreover, strain MD-1 showed a conserved microcystin-degrading gene cluster ( mlrA to mlrF ), similar to Sphingopyxis sp. strain C-1.
