title: Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas abietaniphila KF701 (NBRC110664), a Polychlorinated Biphenyl-Degrading Bacterium Isolated from Biphenyl-Contaminated Soil.
abstract: Pseudomonas abietaniphila KF701 utilizes biphenyl as a sole source of carbon and degrades polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Here, we report the 6,886,250-bp draft genome sequence of KF701, which contains 6,315 coding sequences and 59.4 mol% G+C content. The strain possesses genes for biphenyl catabolism and other genes that mediate the degradation of benzoate, salicylate, and phenol.
