Abstract:
The complete genome sequence of a methanesulfonate-degrading strain, Rhodococcus sp. strain RD6.2 DSM 46800, which was isolated from a brackish marsh sediment sample, is described here. This is the first reported genome of a nonproteobacterial strain using methanesulfonate (MSA) as a sole source of carbon and energy, which does not possess the conventional MSA-monooxygenase (MSAMO).
