Genome Sequence of Sphingomonas wittichii DP58, the First Reported Phenazine-l-Carboxylic Acid-Degrading Strain

Sphingomonas wittichii DP58 (CCTCC M 2012027), the first reported phenazine-l-carboxylic acid (PCA)-degrading strain, was isolated from pimiento rhizosphere soils. Here we present a 5.6-Mb assembly of its genome. This sequence would contribute to the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of PCA degradation to improve the antifungal's effectiveness or remove superfluous PCA.
