Genomic sequences of free-living Pseudoalteromonas species isolated from seawater using an ethylene-α-olefin co-oligomer as a sole carbon source

Two free-living Pseudoalteromonas species were isolated from surface seawater through enrichment cultures using a model compound of polyolefins as the sole carbon source. We report their complete and draft genomes. Although these genomes lack genes encoding alkane hydroxylases involved in polyolefin degradation, they provide insights into polyolefin-bacteria interactions.
