Genome sequence of the alkane-degrading bacterium Alcanivorax hongdengensis type strain A-11-3

J Bacteriol. 2012 Dec;194(24):6972. doi: 10.1128/JB.01849-12.

Abstract

Alcanivorax hongdengensis A-11-3(T) was isolated from an oil-enriched consortium enriched from the surface seawater of Hong-Deng dock in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore. Strain A-11-3(T) can degrade n-alkane and produce a lipopeptide biosurfactant. Here we report the genome of A-11-3(T) and the genes associated with alkane degradation.
