Abstract

We present genome sequences of three Pseudomonadota strains isolated from an abandoned century-old oil exploration well. A Pseudomonas sp. genome showed a size of 5,378,420 bp, while Acinetobacter genomes sized 3,522,593 and 3,864,311 bp. Genomes included catabolic genes for benzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, salicylate, vanillate, indoleacetate, anthranilate, n-alkanes, 4-hydroxyphenylacetate, phenylacetate, among others.
