Genome sequences of nicotine-degrading <i>Pseudomonas</i> and <i>Stutzerimonas</i> strains isolated from nicotine-enriched activated sludge

We have isolated seven novel nicotine-degrading <i>Pseudomonas</i> and <i>Stutzerimonas</i> strains from activated sludge enrichment cultures. These strains were obtained through successive passages of activated sludge microbial communities in M9 minimal media containing nicotine as the sole carbon source, followed by single colony isolation.
