Comamonas testosteroni KF-1 is a model organism for the elucidation of the novel biochemical degra- dation pathways for xenobiotic 4-sulfophenylcarboxylates (SPC) formed during biodegradation of syn- thetic 4-sulfophenylalkane surfactants (linear alkylbenzenesulfonates, LAS) by bacterial communities. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and an- notation. The 6,026,527 bp long chromosome (one sequencing gap) exhibits an average G+C content of 61.79% and is predicted to encode 5,492 protein-coding genes and 114 RNA genes.
