title: Draft genome sequence ofMicrobacterium oleivoransstrain Wellendorf implicates heterotrophic versatility and bioremediation potential.
abstract: Microbacterium oleivoransis a predominant member of hydrocarbon-contaminated environments. We here report on the genomic analysis ofM. oleivoransstrain Wellendorf that was isolated from an indoor door handle. The partial genome ofM. oleivoransstrain Wellendorf consists of 2,916,870 bp of DNA with 2831 protein-coding genes and 49 RNA genes. The organism appears to be a versatile mesophilic heterotroph potentially capable of hydrolysis a suite of carbohydrates and amino acids. Genomic analysis revealed metabolic versatility with genes involved in the metabolism and transport of glucose, fructose, rhamnose, galactose, xylose, arabinose, alanine, aspartate, asparagine, glutamate, serine, glycine, threonine and cysteine. This is the first detailed analysis of aMicrobacterium oleivoransgenome.
