“…Genome-wide expression pro ling by DNA microarray analyses or next-generation sequencing techniques has been used to study many aromatic compound-degrading bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis NCIB 3610 (hydroxylated PCBs, methoxylated PCBs, and PCBs) [4], Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110 (4-hydroxybenzoate: 4-HBA, protocatechuate, vanillate, and vanillin) [5], Comamonas testosteroni WDL7 (3-chloroaniline) [6], Cupriavidus pinatubonensis JMP134 (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid: 2,4-D) [7], Mycobacterium sp. A1-PYR (phenanthrene and pyrene) [8], Novosphingobium sp. LH128 (phenanthrene) [9], Paraburkholderia xenovorans LB400 (benzoate: BA, biphenyl, PCBs, and phenylacetate) [10][11][12][13], Pseudomonas putida (3-chlorobenzoate: 3-CB and carbazole) [14][15][16], Rhodococcus aetherivorans I24 (biphenyl and PCBs) [17], Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 (BA, biphenyl, ethylbenzene, phthalate, and terephthalate) [18][19][20], Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 (indole-3-acetic acid) [21], and Sphingobium chlorophenolicum L-1 (carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone, paraquat, pentachlorophenol, and toluene) [22].…”
