Genome sequencing identifies Rhodococcus ruber as a marine bacterium that degrades p-chloro-m-xylenol, suggesting potential bioremediation applications.
We report the complete genome sequence of Rhodococcus ruber SJ-1, the first marine-derived bacterial strain capable of degrading the antibacterial agent p -chloro- m -xylenol. The genome consists of one chromosome (5,438,782 bp) and three plasmids (197,992 bp, 59,967 bp, and 41,343 bp), with an average GC content of 70.4%.
