Abstract

We describe here the 7.0-Mb draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus qingshengii strain TA37, which was obtained from samples of nitrile-contaminated soil collected in the Saratov Region (Russian Federation). This genomic resource will support the further development of biocatalysts for the inexpensive and green production of acrylic monomers.
