Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus opacus Strain M213 Shows a Diverse Catabolic Potential.

ABSTRACT: Soil-borne Gram-positive bacteria from the genus Rhodococcus metabolize a range of aromatic hydrocarbons and also produce a variety of value-added products, such as triacylglycerols and steroids. We report the draft genome sequence of Rhodococcus opacus strain M213 (9,193,504 bp with a G+C content of 66.99%), providing a comprehensive understanding of the repertoire of metabolic genes of this strain.
