Draft Genome Sequence and Comparative Analysis of the Superb Aromatic-Hydrocarbon Degrader Rhodococcus sp. Strain DK17

Abstract

<em>Rhodococcus</em> sp. strain DK17 is capable of utilizing various derivatives of benzene and bicyclics containing both aromatic and alicyclic moieties as sole carbon and energy sources. Here, we present the 9,107,362-bp draft genome sequence of DK17 and its genomic analysis in comparison with other members of the genus<em> Rhodococcus.</em>
