Abstract

Mycobacterium aromaticivorans JS19b1T (=ATCC BAA-1378T, DSM 45407T), isolated from petroleum-contaminated Hawaiian soil, has received much attention by possessing the powerful degrading capacity to polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAHs). With a significance of first genome sequence for M. aromaticivorans, the draft genome sequence of strain JS19b1T described in this study can provide the genomic basis for expanding the perspective insight of biotechnological application of strain JS19b1T as a model strain on PAHs-degradation via complex metabolic pathways.
