Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PML168, Which Displays Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase Activity

Abstract

e Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PML168 was isolated from Wembury Beach on the English Coast from a rock pool following growth and selection on agar plates. Here we present the permanent draft genome sequence, which has allowed prediction of function for several genes encoding enzymes relevant to industrial biotechnology, including a novel flavoprotein monooxygenase.

Comparative Genomics of Environmental and ClinicalStenotrophomonas maltophiliaStrains with Different Antibiotic Resistance Profiles

“…Based on their exceptionally resistant or sensitive antibiotic resistance profiles, three environmental strains from the team collection were sequenced in this study. During our analysis, other genome sequences from clinical and environmental strains became available ( Allen et al 2012 ; Lira et al 2012 ; Song et al 2012 ; Zhu et al 2012 ; Sassera et al 2013 ; Zhang et al 2013 ) but unfortunately their antibiotic resistance profiles were poorly documented.…”

Laboratory Culture and Maintenance of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

“…S. maltophilia is also recognized as an endosymbiont or endophyte of certain plants where it is thought to promote growth and contribute to disease protection (Taghavi, et al, 2009; Zhu, et al, 2012). Finally, certain S. maltophilia isolates are used in biotechnological applications where their unique metabolic activities can be harnessed for biosynthesis of organic compounds or bioremediation of contaminated soil or water (Allen, et al, 2012). …”

Complete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Strain CF13, Recovered from Sputum from an Australian Cystic Fibrosis Patient

“…The complete genome sequence shows that CF13 belongs to a novel sequence type (ST) of S. maltophilia, namely, ST371 (with atpD-5, gapA-62, guaA-289, mutM-158, nuoD-25, ppsA-116, and recA-103). To determine the relationship of CF13 to other known strains (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17), a phylogenetic tree was constructed. CF13 was found to be clustered with the reference strain K279a (Fig.…”
