TitleDraft genome sequence of the aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium Sphingobium sp. strain Ant17, isolated from Antarctic soilAbstractHere, we present the draft genome sequence of Sphingobium sp. strain Ant17, an aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium that was isolated from Antarctic oil-contaminated soil. An analysis of this genome can lead to insights into the mechanisms of xenobiotic degradation processes at low temperatures and potentially aid in bioremediation applications.
