The Genome of Polaromonas sp. Strain JS666: Insights into the Evolution of a Hydrocarbon- and Xenobiotic-Degrading Bacterium, and Features of Relevance to Biotechnology

Abstract: Polaromonas sp. strain JS666 can grow on cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cDCE) as a sole carbon and energy source and may be useful for bioremediation of chlorinated solvent-contaminated sites. Analysis of the genome sequence of JS666 (5.9 Mb) shows a bacterium well adapted to pollution that carries many genes likely to be involved in hydrocarbon and xenobiotic catabolism and metal resistance. Clusters of genes coding for haloalkane, haloalkanoate, n-alkane, alicyclic acid, cyclic alcohol, and aromatic catabolism were… Show more

“…It is therefore likely that this taxon is well adapted to life in the seasonal slush layer of the glacier, and thus proliferates rapidly within it, while other members of Polaromonas occupy a broader distribution within the snowpack. The appearance of a high ratio of local to global diversity in Polaromonas, as recently reported (Darcy et al, 2011), would provide opportunities for co-dispersed Polaromonas species to exploit distinct niches in space and time, utilizing their considerable metabolic versatility (Mattes et al, 2008;Yagi et al, 2009) to do so.…”

“…Genome annotation revealed widespread presence of CO dehydrogenase and absence of a complete CO 2 fixation pathway (Supplementary Table S6), consistently with the complete genome of Polaromonas JS666. This suggests that Polaromonas in cryoconite might use CO as energy source in presence of OC (mixotrophy) (Mattes et al, 2008).…”

“…Scattered pca genes have also been detected in Pseudomonas putida KT2440, Polaromonas sp. JS666, and Pseudomonas stutzeri A1501 and are expected to correspond to regulatory mechanisms different from those of A. baylyi (14,25,26).…”
