Sphingobium sp. 22B Genome sequencing and assembly. Sphingobium sp. 22B

Sphingobium. sp 22B is a PAH-degrading strain isolated from Patagonia, Argentina, who is capable to withstand the environmental factors of this semiarid region. Sphingobium sp. 22B could be useful in autochthonous bioaugmentation in semi-arid soil contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). Genome knowledge would allow optimizing variables that influence its degrading activity in a semiarid soil contaminated with PAH during a bioaugmentation process, improving the bioremediation technologies in PAH-contaminated soils of Patagonia.
