title: Genome sequence of an alkane-degrading bacterium, Alcanivorax pacificus type strain W11-5, isolated from deep sea sediment.
abstract: Alcanivorax pacificus W11-5(T) was isolated from a pyrene-degrading consortium, enriched from the deep sea sediment of the Pacific Ocean. Strain W11-5(T) can degrade various n-alkanes. Here we report the draft genome of W11-5(T) and genes associated with alkane degradation.
