Complete genome sequence of the novel thermophilic polyhydroxyalkanoates producer Aneurinibacillus sp. XH2 isolated from Gudao oilfield in China

Aneurinibacillus sp. XH2 (CGMCC 1.15535) was isolated from Gudao oilfield in China. It is able to use simple carbon resources to accumulate Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in a thermophilic fashion. Here, we describe the genomic features of this strain. The total genome size of Aneurinibacillus sp. XH2 is 3,664,835 bp and contains 3441 coding sequences and 114 tRNAs. The annotated genome sequence of this strain provides the genetic basis for revealing its role as a themophilic PHAs producing bacterium.
