Abstract

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Magnetospirillum sp. 15-1. This strain was isolated from a planted fixed-bed reactor based on its ability to degrade toluene under anaerobic conditions. The genome assembly consists of 5.4 Mb in 28 contigs and 5,095 coding sequences containing the genes involved in anaerobic toluene degradation.
