Whole genome sequence of petroleum hydrocarbon degrading novel strain Microbacter sp. EMBS2025 isolated from Chilika Lake, Odisha, India.

ABSTRACT: Bioremediation offers a sustainable and eco-friendly approach for addressing petroleum contamination. In this study, we investigated the hydrocarbon-degrading potential of Microbacter sp. EMBS2025, a strain previously isolated and characterized for its biosurfactant-producing capabilities. The strain was cultivated using varying concentrations of crude oil as the sole carbon source, where it demonstrated robust growth and efficient degradation of both alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform, yielding approximately 33.4 million high-quality reads with a sequencing depth (~ 1482 ×). The assembled genome spans 3.52 Mb and comprises 3237 coding sequences (CDS), 19 miscellaneous RNAs, 3 rRNAs, 51 tRNAs, and 1 tmRNA. The g
