Genome sequence of an alkane-degrading bacterium, Alcanivorax pacificus type strain W11-5, isolated from deep sea sediment

J Bacteriol. 2012 Dec;194(24):6936. doi: 10.1128/JB.01845-12.

Abstract

Alcanivorax pacificus W11-5(T) was isolated from a pyrene-degrading consortium, enriched from the deep sea sediment of the Pacific Ocean. Strain W11-5(T) can degrade various n-alkanes. Here we report the draft genome of W11-5(T) and genes associated with alkane degradation.
