Draft genome sequence of the hydrocarbon-degrading and emulsan-producing strain Acinetobacter venetianus RAG-1T

J Bacteriol. 2012 Sep;194(17):4771-2. doi: 10.1128/JB.01019-12.

Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter venetianus strain RAG-1(T), which is able to degrade hydrocarbons and to synthesize a powerful biosurfactant (emulsan) that can be employed for oil removal and as an adjuvant for vaccine delivery. The genome sequence of A. venetianus RAG-1(T) might be useful for bioremediation and/or clinical purposes.
