Abstract
Sphingobium yanoikuyae TJ is a halotolerant di-n-butyl-phthalate-degrading bacterium, isolated from the Haihe estuary in Bohai Bay, Tianjin, China. Here, we report the 5.1-Mb draft genome sequence of this strain, which will provide insights into the diversity of Sphingobium spp. and the mechanism of phthalate ester degradation in the estuary.

Sphingobium yanoikuyae TJ was isolated from a seawater sample collected from the Haihe estuary, Tianjin, China
The characteristics of S. yanoikuyae TJ for biodegradation of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) were reported in our previous study (2)
Summary
Sphingobium yanoikuyae TJ is a halotolerant di-n-butyl-phthalate-degrading bacterium, isolated from the Haihe estuary in Bohai Bay, Tianjin, China. Members of the genus Sphingobium are widely distributed in nature and play an important role in biodegradation and bioremediation (1). Sphingobium yanoikuyae TJ was isolated from a seawater sample collected from the Haihe estuary, Tianjin, China. It was assigned to the Sphingobium genus based on its 16S rRNA sequence.
