We report the complete genome sequence of Variovorax sp. strain PAMC28711 isolated from the Antarctic lichen Himantormia sp. Whole genome sequencing revealed opine oxidase- and octopine dehydrogenase-related gene clusters that are involved in octopine utilization. These data will lead to future genetic and biochemical studies on the unusual catabolic traits of opine and octopine utilization in extremely cold environments. Copyright © 2016 Elsevier B.V.
