Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis SI8, a Psychrotrophic Aromatic-Degrading Bacterium

Abstract

Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis strain SI8 is a psychrotrophic bacterium capable of efficient aerobic degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons. The draft genome of P. frederiksbergensis SI8 is 6.57 Mb in size, with 5,904 coding sequences and 60.5% G+C content. The isopropylbenzene (cumene) degradation pathway is predicted to be present in P. frederiksbergensis SI8.

Draft Genome Sequence of Achromobacter spanius Strain 6, a Soil Bacterium Isolated from a Hydrocarbon-Degrading Microcosm

“… Achromobacter spanius strain 6 was isolated as a predominant member of the hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial community in a desert soil sample obtained from under a fuel bladder in Kuwait ( 1 ). Achromobacter spp.…”

GC–MS hydrocarbon degradation profile data of Pseudomonas frederiksbergensis SI8, a bacterium capable of degrading aromatics at low temperatures

“…In this article, Fig. 1 provides the growth data comparison of P. frederiksbergensis SI8, a pychrotrophic soil bacterium isolated from a jet fuel enrichment [1] and identifed via genome sequencing [2] , grown in M9 minimal medium amended with either Jet A fuel or a blend of aromatic hydrocarbons. The bacterial growth in the aromatic blend was 2.5-fold and 3-fold more at 7 and 14 days, respectively, than in Jet A fuel.…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas stutzeri Strain 19, an Isolate Capable of Efficient Degradation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons

“…The genes for protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase, 3-carboxymuconate cycloisomerase, and 4-carboxymuconolactone decarboxylase of the central protocatechuate catabolic pathway for aromatic degradation were also present. A cluster of genes was observed with at least 78% homology to the ttg 2 operon of P. putida that encodes an ABC transporter implicated in resistance to toluene ( 3 , 4 ). The genome of P. stutzeri 19 encodes many multidrug and heavy-metal resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux transporters, some of which have been associated with hydrocarbon resistance ( 5 ).…”
