Genome Sequence of a Heterotrophic Nitrifier and Aerobic Denitrifier, Paracoccus denitrificans Strain ISTOD1, Isolated from Wastewater

Abstract

We report here the draft genome sequence of <i>Paracoccus denitrificans</i> strain ISTOD1 of 4.9 Mb, isolated from wastewater. It has been identified as a heterotrophic nitrifying and aerobic denitrifying bacterium. Genomic analysis revealed genes related to nitrogen and phosphorus removal, showing that the strain holds potential for bioremediation and biorefinery uses.
