# Draft genome sequence of a promising bioremediation agent Gordonia paraffinivorans IEGM 735

## TL;DR

This paper presents the draft genome of Gordonia paraffinivorans, a bacterium that can help clean up pollutants and heavy metals in wastewater.

## Contribution

The study provides a high-quality draft genome sequence of an underexplored bioremediation bacterium.

## Key findings

- The genome sequence of Gordonia paraffinivorans IEGM 735 was obtained using Illumina sequencing.
- The genome can help understand genetic mechanisms of xenobiotic biodegradation and heavy metal resistance.

## Abstract

A high-quality draft genome sequence of actinomycete Gordonia paraffinivorans IEGM 735 isolated from wastewater was obtained using Illumina sequencing. This genome sequence will be useful for elucidating the genetic mechanisms of xenobiotic biodegradation and heavy metal resistance within a rare, underexplored, and biotechnologically promising species G. paraffinivorans.
