Draft genome sequence of <i>Rhodococcus pyridinivorans</i> IEGM 66, a betulin biotransformer
We report the draft genome sequence of <i>Rhodococcus pyridinivorans</i> IEGM 66. This strain is able to transform a pentacyclic triterpenoid, betulin, commonly used as a scaffold for synthesizing bioactive compounds. Using the obtained sequence, putative genes encoding enzymes involved in the oxidative transformation of betulin were revealed.
