Abstract

We present the draft genome sequence of Gordonia sp. strain Campus, which was extracted from diesel-contaminated soil in Córdoba, Argentina. It was observed that this strain, in conjunction with alfalfa and poplar, has the ability to decompose diesel-contaminated soils. The data may be important for the phytoremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated soils.
