Abstract
Sphingomonas sp. strain NIC1, an efficient nicotine-degrading bacterium, was isolated from tobacco leaves. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of strain NIC1, which contains one circular chromosome and two circular plasmids. The genomic information will provide insights into its molecular mechanism for nicotine degradation.

Sphingomonas sp. strain NIC1, an efficient nicotine-degrading bacterium, was isolated from tobacco leaves
To further elucidate the mechanism of nicotine degradation, we present here the complete genome sequence of strain NIC1, which may help to understand the evolution of the nicotine-degrading microorganisms
The genome encodes six rRNAs, 51 tRNAs, and 12 noncoding RNAs, all of which make up 0.434% of the genome
Summary
Sphingomonas sp. strain NIC1, an efficient nicotine-degrading bacterium, was isolated from tobacco leaves. Strain NIC1, isolated from tobacco leaves, has the ability to degrade nicotine. None of the genomes in Sphingomonas with a nicotine-degrading ability have been fully sequenced. To further elucidate the mechanism of nicotine degradation, we present here the complete genome sequence of strain NIC1, which may help to understand the evolution of the nicotine-degrading microorganisms.
