We report the isolation and draft genome sequence of an Acinetobacter albensis strain C1-4G isolated from untreated wastewater from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in Liverpool, UK. The 3.0 Mb genome contained several genes encoding alkane and aromatic hydrocarbon degrading enzymes, which are of growing interest for crude oil degradation and bioremediation. In addition, analysis of the biosynthetic gene clusters suggested genes were present that would allow biosynthesis of baumannoferrin and a novel cyanobactin-type natural product.
