Complete Genome Sequence of a γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane Degrader, Sphingobium sp. Strain TKS, Isolated from a γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane-Degrading Microbial Community.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report the complete genome sequence of a γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) degrader,Sphingobiumsp. strain TKS, which was isolated from a γ-HCH-degrading microbial community. The genome of TKS consists of two chromosomes and nine plasmids. Thelingenes for conversion of γ-HCH to β-ketoadipate are dispersed on chromosome 1 and three out of the nine plasmids.
