Alcanivorax sp. N3-2A Genome sequencing. Alcanivorax sp. N3-2A

Here we present the genome of strain, Alcanivorax N3-2A, a oil degrading and biosurfactant producing bacterium isolated for the first time from petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated sediment samples from shoreline Newfoundland, Canada. Many strains of the genus Alcanivorax are oil degrading bacteria and have properties of biotechnological interest. This genome was sequenced to be a comparative resource for the study of adaptation with the other representative of the genus.
