Abstract
We report the 4.25-Mbp first draft sequence of Gammaproteobacteria strain MFB021, a moderate halophile isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil in Cochin, India. The genome of the strain MFB021 was sequenced to understand the mechanism of hydrocarbon degradation and the halophilicity of the bacterium.

Summary
We report the 4.25-Mbp first draft sequence of Gammaproteobacteria strain MFB021, a moderate halophile isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil in Cochin, India. The class Gammaproteobacteria constitutes a very large and diverse group of bacteria that exhibits enormous variety in terms of their phenotype and metabolic capabilities [1, 2]. Strain MFB021, identified as belonging to Gammaproteobacteria, was isolated from a soil sample contaminated with petroleum and other hydrocarbons in Cochin, India.
