Draft genome sequence of a medium- And long-chain n-alkane-degrading bacterium, tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens strain PS2, with two genetic systems for alkane degradation

Abstract

© 2019 Romanova et al. Here, we report the genome sequence of Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens strain PS2, which was isolated from hydrocarbon sludge of an organic synthesis factory. This strain was able to utilize a wide range of n-alkanes, from C16 to C35, as sole carbon sources. Knowledge of the genome will provide insights into long-chain n-alkane biodegradation mechanisms.
