Abstract

Sphingobium baderi strain LL03(T) was isolated from hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-contaminated soil from Spolana, Czech Republic. Strain LL03(T) is a mutant that is deficient in linB and linC (genes that encode hexachlorocyclohexane haloalkane dehalogenase and dehydrogenase, respectively). The draft genome sequence of LL03(T) (~4.85 Mb) consists of 92 contigs and 4,914 coding sequences, with a G+C content of 63.5%.
