Draft genome sequence of benzo[a]pyrene degrading <i>Bacillus altitudinis</i> strain AR19 isolated from Digboi oil refinery (India)
<i>Bacillus altitudinis</i> AR19, isolated from the Digboi oil refinery (India), has a genome size of 3,630,000 bp with a G+C content of 42.45%. The genome encodes 3,755 protein-coding genes, including those for ring-cleaving dioxygenases and biofilm formation. These genes likely play crucial roles in the bacterium's survival in hydrocarbon-enriched environments.
