Altererythrobacter epoxidivorans CGMCC 1.7731(T) is a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from marine sediments. It is able to utilize benzo[a]pyrene as sole carbon and energy source. Here, we describe the complete genome sequence and annotation of A. epoxidivorans CGMCC 1.7731(T). The genome has a size of 2,786,256 bp (61.50 mol% G + C content), which consists of 2773 coding genes, 43 tRNA genes and 3 rRNA genes. According to the genome information, strain A. epoxidivorans CGMCC 1.7731(T) encodes 22 genes related to degradation of benzo[a]pyrene. These genes may have potential in bioremediation of PAH-polluted environments. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
