Draft genome sequence of biosurfactant-producing strains Rhodococcus sp. IITD102, Lysinibacillus sp. IITD104 and Paenibacillus sp. IITD108, isolated from oil-contaminated soil

We report the draft genome sequence of three biosurfactant-producing strains Rhodococcus sp. IITD102, Lysinibacillus sp. IITD104 and Paenibacillus sp. IITD108. They produce a glycolipid type of biosurfactant useful in enhanced oil recovery. The nucleotide sequence will provide insights into the various genes and regulators involved in the biosynthesis of biosurfactant.
