Abstract

Rhodococcus erythropolis X5 is a psychrotrophic (cold-adapted) hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium, as it showed effective n-alkane destruction at low positive temperatures. Here, the genome of strain X5 was completely sequenced; it consists of a 6,472,161-bp circular chromosome (62.25% GC content) and a 526,979-bp linear plasmid, pRhX5-526k (62.37% GC content).
