Draft Genome Sequence of the Hydrocarbon-Degrading and Emulsan-Producing Strain Acinetobacter venetianus RAG-1^sup T

We report the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter venetianus strain RAG-..., which is able to degrade hydrocarbons and to synthesize a powerful biosurfactant (emulsan) that can be employed for oil removal and as an adjuvant for vaccine delivery. The genome sequence of A. venetianus RAG-... might...

Description
Summary:We report the draft genome sequence of Acinetobacter venetianus strain RAG-..., which is able to degrade hydrocarbons and to synthesize a powerful biosurfactant (emulsan) that can be employed for oil removal and as an adjuvant for vaccine delivery. The genome sequence of A. venetianus RAG-... might be useful for bioremediation and/or clinical purposes. (ProQuest: ... denotes formulae/symbols omitted.)
