title: Genome sequence of Comamonas testosteroni ATCC 11996, a representative strain involved in steroid degradation.
abstract: Comamonas testosteroni strains belong to the family of Comamonadaceae and are known for their ability to utilize steroid compounds as carbon source. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of strain ATCC 11996, with a G+C content of 61.48%.
