Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain A8 was isolated from soil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls. It can use 2-chlorobenzoate and 2,5-dichlorobenzoate as sole sources of carbon and energy. This property makes it a good starting microorganism for further development toward a bioremediation tool. The genome of A. xylosoxidans consists of a 7-Mb chromosome and two large plasmids (98 kb and 248 kb). Besides genes for the utilization of xenobiotic organic substrates, it contains genes associated with pathogenesis, toxin production, and resistance. Here, we report the complete genome sequence.
从被多氯联苯污染的土壤中分离出了木糖氧化无色杆菌 A8 菌株。它可以将 2-氯苯甲酸和 2,5-二氯苯甲酸作为唯一的碳源和能源。这种特性使其成为进一步开发生物修复工具的良好起始微生物。木糖氧化无色杆菌的基因组由一个 7-Mb 染色体和两个大质粒(98 kb 和 248 kb)组成。除了用于利用外来有机底物的基因外,它还包含与发病机制、毒素产生和抗性相关的基因。在这里,我们报告了完整的基因组序列。
