Abstract

Mycolicibacterium smegmatis VKM Ac-1171 is a saprotrophic bacterium that was isolated several decades ago and is deposited in microbial collections around the world. We report here a draft genome sequence of the strain. Annotation of the genome revealed the presence of a complete set of genes related to the sterol catabolic pathway.
