title: Draft Genome Sequence ofRhodococcus erythropolisVSD3, a Diesel Fuel-Degrading and Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterium Isolated fromHedera helixLeaves.
abstract: We report here the 6.55-Mb draft genome sequence ofRhodococcus erythropolisVSD3, a Gram-positive bacterium of theNocardiaceaefamily, isolated from leaves ofHedera helixgrowing at a high-traffic city center in Belgium. The exploration of its genome will contribute to the assessment of its application as an inoculant in phylloremediation approaches.
