Genome sequence of Rhodococcus sp. strain R04, a polychlorinated-biphenyl biodegrader

Xiuqing Yang et al. J Bacteriol. 2011 Sep.

Abstract

The genus Rhodococcus has proved to be a promising option for the cleanup of polluted sites and application of a microbial biocatalyst. Rhodococcus sp. strain R04, isolated from oil-contaminated soil, can biodegrade polychlorinated biphenyls. Here we report the draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus sp. strain R04, which could be used to predict genes for xenobiotic biodegradation and provide important insights into the applications of this strain.
