# Complete genome sequence of Gulosibacter sp. ACHW.36C, a toluene-degrading strain isolated in Hong Kong

## TL;DR

This paper reports the complete genome sequence of a toluene-degrading Gulosibacter strain isolated in Hong Kong.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the complete genome sequence of Gulosibacter sp. ACHW.36C, obtained via hybrid assembly.

## Key findings

- Gulosibacter sp. ACHW.36C was isolated from a cleaning sponge contaminated with petroleum-based hoof oil.
- The complete genome is 2,748,452 bp long with a G+C content of 67.61%.

## Abstract

Gulosibacter spp. are known as consumers of xenobiotics and, though widely distributed in the environment, are infrequently reported. Gulosibacter sp. ACHW.36C was isolated from a cleaning sponge contaminated with a petroleum-based hoof oil, and its complete genome (2,748,452 bp, 67.61% G+C) established through hybrid assembly.
