title: Genome sequence of Mycobacterium aromaticivorans JS19b1(T), a novel isolate from Hawaiian soil.
abstract: Mycobacterium aromaticivorans JS19b1(T) (=ATCC BAA-1378(T), DSM 45407(T)), isolated from petroleum-contaminated Hawaiian soil, has received much attention by possessing the powerful degrading capacity to polycyclic aromatic compounds (PAHs). With a significance of first genome sequence for M. aromaticivorans, the draft genome sequence of strain JS19b1(T) described in this study can provide the genomic basis for expanding the perspective insight of biotechnological application of strain JS19b1(T) as a model strain on PAHs-degradation via complex metabolic pathways.
