Draft Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus sp. Strain M8, Which Can Degrade a Broad Range of Nitriles.

ABSTRACT: Rhodococcus sp. strain M8 is a nitrile-degrading bacterium isolated from acrylonitrile-contaminated sites. This strain produces the enzymes for sequential nitrile degradation, cobalt-type nitrile hydratase, and amidase in large amounts. Its draft genome sequence, announced here, has an estimated size of 6.3 Mbp.
