Abstract

Papiliotrema laurentii 5307AH was isolated from an aircraft polymer-coated surface. The genome size is 19,510,785 bp with a G + C content of 56%. The genome harbors genes encoding oxygenases, cutinases, lipases, and enzymes for styrene degradation, all of which could play a critical role in survival on xenobiotic surfaces.
