Abstract
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of crude oil-degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain N002, isolated from a crude oil-polluted soil sample from Geleky, Assam, India. Multiple genes potentially involved in crude oil degradation were identified.
Highlights
We report the draft genome sequence of crude oil-degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain N002, isolated from a crude oil-polluted soil sample from Geleky, Assam, India
The majority of the crude oil bioremediation reported to date has been carried out with single or mixed bacterial strains that have the ability to grow on crude oil as their sole carbon source [14,15,16,17]
The complete genome sequence of P. aeruginosa N002 was obtained by whole-genome shotgun sequencing using the Ion Torrent method
Summary
We report the draft genome sequence of crude oil-degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain N002, isolated from a crude oil-polluted soil sample from Geleky, Assam, India. Crude oil contamination occurs quite often as a result of exploration, production, maintenance, transportation, storage, and accidental release, leading to significant ecological impacts [9, 10]. Reducing hydrocarbons in a contaminated environment is a significant challenge. E.g., mechanical and chemical, have been utilized in the cleanup of oil spills [11].
