Complete genome sequence of Cytobacillus sp. BC1816 for genome mining of polystyrene degrading enzymes

Isolated from a Pacific Ocean marine sediment sample, Cytobacillus sp. BC1816 may thrive in mineral media that contains polystyrene (PS) plastic as its only carbon source. Here, we present the complete genome of Cytobacillus sp. BC1816, which will facilitate the genome mining of PS degrading enzymes. The sequenced genome has a mean G + C content of 41.43 % and a total length of 5,343,034 base nucleotides. The genome was predicted to include 5367 coding genes, including 107 tRNAs and 36 rRNAs. This genome contained several putative PS-degrading enzymes, such as peroxidases and cytochrome P450s.
