Abstract

Pseudomonassp. HUK17 has been isolated from hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) long-term contaminated soil. The genome of strain HUK17 was sequenced to elucidate its adaptation toward HCH and to evaluate the presence of pesticide degradation pathways. Here, we report the annotated draft genome sequence (~2.6 Mbp) of this strain.
