Draft genome sequences of six bacterial strains degrading the biodegradable plastic polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)
The draft genome sequences of six strains of bacteria degrading polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable plastic, have been sequenced. These strains were isolated from marine biodegradation test samples of PHB. The genome sizes range from 4.5 to 6.6 Mb, and they are phylogenetically distinct from known PHB-degrading bacteria.
