Abstract

Ralstonia sp. strain GA3-3 is a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacterial strain isolated from suburban soil in Canberra, Australia. The genome of strain GA3-3 was sequenced to investigate its ability to degrade α-HCH. Here, we report the annotated genome sequence of this strain.

Highlights

  • Ralstonia sp. strain GA3-3 is a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacterial strain isolated from suburban soil in Canberra, Australia

  • Several bacterial strains were isolated during a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) degradation study in Australia

  • GA3-3 was isolated from suburban soil with no known history of HCH exposure in Canberra, Australia, after three cycles of enrichment with 50 ppm ␣-HCH as the sole carbon source

Summary

Introduction

Ralstonia sp. strain GA3-3 is a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading bacterial strain isolated from suburban soil in Canberra, Australia. Several bacterial strains were isolated during a hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) degradation study in Australia. Strain GA3-3, were chosen to be sequenced based on their HCH degradation phenotype. GA3-3 was isolated from suburban soil with no known history of HCH exposure in Canberra, Australia, after three cycles of enrichment with 50 ppm ␣-HCH as the sole carbon source.
