Complete genome sequence of "Candidatus Dehalogenimonas loeffleri" strain W, a highly salt-tolerant chlorinated alkane-dechlorinating bacterium isolated from estuarine sediments.

Abstract

"Candidatus Dehalogenimonas loeffleri" strain W, isolated from estuarine sediments, can dechlorinate 1,2-dichloroethane under high salinity. Its genome consists of a circular 1,772,240-bp chromosome with a G + C content of 52.5% and encompasses 1,763 protein-coding sequences, including 28 genes encoding reductive dehalogenases.
