Genome Announc. 2014 Dec 4;2(6):e01256-14. doi: 10.1128/genomeA.01256-14.

Abstract

Sphingopyxis sp. strain MWB1, which is capable of degrading crude oil, diesel, and kerosene, was isolated from crude oil-contaminated seashore in Tae-an, South Korea. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this strain, which comprises 3,118,428 bp with a G+C content of 62.85 mol%.
