Draft Genome Sequence of Triclosan-Degrading Bacterium Sphingomonas sp. Strain YL-JM2C, Isolated from a Wastewater Treatment Plant in China.

Sphingomonas sp. strain YL-JM2C was isolated from a wastewater treatment plant in Xiamen, China, by enrichment on triclosan. The bacterium is of special interest because of its ability to degrade triclosan. Here, we present a draft genome sequence of the microorganism and its functional annotation. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of a draft genome sequence of a triclosan-degrading bacterium.
