Novosphingobium sp. strain Chol11 is a steroid-degrading alphaproteobacterium. Its genome sequence reveals that it lacks several genes for steroid degradation known to exist in other model organisms.Genome announcementse01372-17https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5754482biostudies-literatureGenome Sequence of the Bile Salt-Degrading Bacterium Novosphingobium sp.
