Draft Whole-Genome Sequence of
Sphingobium
sp. Strain PNB, a Versatile Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacterium
Keyword(s):
Sphingobium sp. strain PNB can completely degrade phenanthrene, naphthalene, and biphenyl as the sole carbon and energy source. The strain is also capable of cometabolizing benzo[a]pyrene, pyrene, acenaphthene, fluoranthene, etc. Here, we report the 5.69-Mb assembly and annotation of the genome sequence of strain PNB, obtained using Illumina sequencing.
