Abstract


Strain Sphe3T is the type strain of Arthrobacter phenanthrenivorans which is able to metabolize phenanthrene as a sole source of carbon and energy. A. phenanthrenivorans is an aerobic, non motile, Gram-positive bacterium, that exhibits a rod-coccus growth cycle, which was originally isolated from a creosote polluted site in Epirus, Greece. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation.
