Complete Genome Sequence of Polymorphum gilvum SL003B-26A1 ^T , a Crude Oil-Degrading Bacterium from Oil-Polluted Saline Soil

Abstract

Polymorphum gilvum SL003B-26A1(T) is a type strain of a newly published novel species in the novel genus Polymorphum. It was isolated from a crude oil-polluted saline soil in Shengli Oilfield, China, and was able to use the crude oil as the sole carbon source. Here we report the complete genome of SL003B-26A1(T) and the genes likely to be involved in oil degradation and ecological adaption.
