Draft Genome Sequence of the Polychlorinated Biphenyl-Degrading Bacterium Cupriavidus basilensis KF708 (NBRC 110671) Isolated from Biphenyl-Contaminated Soil

We report the draft genome sequence of Cupriavidus basilensis KF708 (NBRC 110671), which utilizes biphenyl as a sole carbon source and degrades polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The KF708 strain possesses genes for biphenyl catabolism and other genes involved in various aromatic compounds.
