Abstract

Arthrobacter sp. YC-RL1, isolated from a petroleum-contaminated soil, is capable of degrading and utilizing a wide range of aromatic compounds for growth. Here we report the complete genome sequence of strain YC-RL1, which may facilitate the investigation of environmental bioremediation and provide new gene resources for biotechnology and gene engineering.

Keywords: Aromatic Compounds; Arthrobacter sp.; Biodegradation; Genome sequence.
