Novosphingobium pentaromativorans US6-1 showed a good ability to degrade high-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. We report the draft genome sequence of strain US6-1, which contains a main chromosome (5,096,413 bp, G+C content of 63.1%) and two plasmids (188,476 and 60,085 bp). The majority of the aromatic-hydrocarbon-degrading genes are encoded in the larger plasmid.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are released into the environment via several natural and anthropogenic sources leading to long-term consequences that severely affect environment, ecosy...

An investigation of how polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons respond to extreme ultraviolet radiation provides insight into internal molecular dynamics that can help improve models interstellar chemistry.
