Abstract:
Here, we report the genome sequence of Arthrobacter sp. strain RT-1, isolated from a cocktail of termite gut and rumen fluid. Strain RT-1 degrades a variety of lignin monomers and dimers as the growth substrates. The genome annotation predicted the genes necessary for the catabolism of lignin-derived aromatic compounds.
