High-quality draft genome sequences of four lignocellulose-degrading bacteria isolated from puerto rican forest soil: gordonia sp., paenibacillus sp., variovorax sp., and vogesella sp

Here, we report the high-quality draft genome sequences of four phylogenetically diverse lignocellulose-degrading bacteria isolated from tropical soil (Gordonia sp., Paenibacillus sp., Variovorax sp., and Vogesella sp.) to elucidate the genetic basis of their ability to degrade lignocellulose. These isolates may provide novel enzymes for biofuel production.
