Draft Genome Sequence of Arthrobacter sp. Strain SPG23 a Hydrocarbon-Degrading and Plant Growth-Promoting Soil Bacterium

摘要

We report here the 4.7-Mb draft genome of Arthrobacter sp. SPG23, a hydrocarbonoclastic Gram-positive bacterium belonging to the Actinobacteria, isolated from diesel-contaminated soil at the Ford Motor Company site in Genk, Belgium. Strain SPG23 is a potent plant growth promoter useful for diesel fuel remediation applications based on plant-bacterium associations.
