Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus opacus Strain M213 Shows a Diverse Catabolic Potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soil-borne Gram-positive bacteria from the genus Rhodococcus metabolize a range of aromatic hydrocarbons and also produce a variety of value-added products, such as triacylglycerols and steroids. We report the draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus opacus strain M213 (9,193,504 bp with a G+C content of 66.99%), providing a comprehensive understanding of the repertoire of metabolic genes of this strain.

متن کاملCharacterization of the naphthalene-degrading bacterium, Rhodococcus opacus M213.
Bacterial strain M213 was isolated from a fuel oil-contaminated soil in Idaho, USA, by growth on naphthalene as a sole source of carbon, and was identified as Rhodococcus opacus M213 by 16S rDNA sequence analysis and growth on substrates characteristic of this species. M213 was screened for growth on a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons, and growth was observed only on simple 1 and 2 ring compoun...
