Draft Genome Sequence Of Novosphingobium Panipatense Strain P5: Abc, Isolated From Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Soil From Noonmati Refinery, Assam, India

Novosphingobium panipatense P5:ABC is a hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil. Here, we present the 5.74-Mb draft genome sequence with 5,206 genes and an average G+C content of 64.7%. The genomic information will improve our understanding of the diversity of N. panipatense and the mechanisms of microbe-based hydrocarbon degradation.
