Pseudomonas putida KF703 (NBRC 110666) utilizes biphenyl as a sole source of carbon and degrades polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the KF703 strain, which provides insight into the molecular mechanisms of adaptation to an environment polluted by aromatic compounds.
