Abstract
Sphingobium sp. strain C100 was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading consortium from the deep-sea sediment of the Arctic Ocean. It can degrade two- to four-ring PAHs at 25°C. Here we present the draft genome sequence of this strain, which is 4,776,810 bp with a G+C content of 63.9%.
Highlights
Sphingobium sp. strain C100 was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading consortium from the deepsea sediment of the Arctic Ocean
The bacterium was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)degrading consortium, which was enriched from the deep-sea sediment of the Makarov Basin (170°29=W, 87°04=N; water depth of 4,000 m) in the Arctic Ocean, using a PAH mixture of naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene as the sole carbon and energy source
Genomic DNA was purified from strain C100 with an AxyPrep bacterial genomic DNA miniprep kit (Axygen) according to the manual instructions
Summary
Sphingobium sp. strain C100 was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-degrading consortium from the deepsea sediment of the Arctic Ocean. They have been isolated from a wide variety of environments and show the ability to degrade many kinds of xenobiotics, such as aromatic and chloroaromatic compounds [2,3,4]. We present the draft genome sequence of a Sphingobium bacterium, strain C100. The bacterium was isolated from a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)degrading consortium, which was enriched from the deep-sea sediment of the Makarov Basin (170°29=W, 87°04=N; water depth of 4,000 m) in the Arctic Ocean, using a PAH mixture of naphthalene, phenanthrene, and pyrene as the sole carbon and energy source.
