Draft Genome Sequence of Comamonas testosteroni TA441, a Bacterium That Has a Cryptic Phenol Degradation Gene Cluster.

ABSTRACT: Comamonas testosteroni TA441 has a complete phenol degradation gene cluster but does not degrade phenol because the cluster is tightly repressed. However, mutant strains that can degrade phenol arise by spontaneous mutations of a repressor gene during incubation with phenol. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of strain TA441.
