title: Draft Genome Sequence of Halomonas sp. KHS3, a Polyaromatic Hydrocarbon-Chemotactic Strain.
abstract: The draft genome sequence of Halomonas sp. KHS3, isolated from seawater from Mar del Plata harbor, is reported. This strain is able to grow using aromatic compounds as a carbon source and shows strong chemotactic response toward these substrates. Genes involved in motility, chemotaxis, and degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons were identified.
