Draft genome sequence of the meloxicam-degrading Gordonia alkanivorans IEGM 1277 strain.

We report the draft genome sequence of Gordonia alkanivorans IEGM 1277, an actinomycete strain exhibiting a pronounced ability to degrade the pharmaceutical pollutant meloxicam-an emerging environmental contaminant. Utilizing the acquired sequence, identify candidate genes that encode enzymes implicated in the degradation of meloxicam.
