Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas putida Strain ASAD, an Acetylsalicylic Acid-Degrading Bacterium.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas putida strain ASAD was isolated from compost because of its ability to utilize aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) as a carbon and energy source. We report the draft genome sequence of strain ASAD, with an estimated length of 6.9 Mb. Study of this isolate will provide insight into the aspirin biodegradation pathway.
