Draft genome sequence of an aromatic compound-degrading bacterium,Desulfobaculasp. TS, belonging to theDeltaproteobacteria

Herein, we report a high-quality draft genome sequence of an uncultivated aromatic compound-degrading bacterium, obtained by the stable isotope probing method from a sulfate-reducing microcosm from an oil-contaminated tidal flat. The obtained genome was closely related with that of Desulfobacula toluolica Tol2. Abundant genes for various anaerobic aromatic degradation pathways and putative mobile elements were detected in the genome.
