Abstract

Pseudomonas sp. VLB120 was isolated in Stuttgart, Germany, as a styrene degrading organism. The complete genome sequence includes genomic information of solvent tolerance mechanisms, metabolic pathways for various organic compounds, and the megaplasmid pSTY.

Keywords: Biofilm; Genome sequence; Pseudomonas VLB120; Solvent tolerance; Styrene.
