Abstract

The draft genome sequences of three sub-Antarctic Rhodococcus sp. strains-1159, 1163, and 1168-are reported here. The estimated genome sizes were 7.09 Mb with a 62.3% GC content for strain 1159, 4.45 Mb with a 62.3% GC content for strain 1163, and 5.06 Mb with a 62.10% GC content for strain 1168.
