Genome sequence highlights polypropylene-degrading capabilities in Gordonia lacunae, suggesting bioremediation potential.
We report the draft genome sequence of Gordonia lacunae iso11, a polypropylene-degrading bacterium isolated from a peat bog in Northern Ireland. Sequencing identified a 5,845,760 bp genome with 67.98% GC content, and annotation revealed several genes associated with hydrocarbon and plastic biodegradation, highlighting its potential for their bioremediation.
