Pseudomonas abietaniphila KF717 utilizes biphenyl as a sole source of carbon and energy and degrades polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). We report here the 6,930,016-bp genome sequence of this strain, which contains 6,323 predicted coding sequences (CDSs), including the biphenyl-utilizing bph gene cluster.
