A comparative analysis of the genomes of four dissimilatory (per)chlorate-reducing bacteria has revealed a genomic island associated with perchlorate reduction. In addition to the characterized metabolic genes for perchlorate reductase and chlorite dismutase, the island contains multiple conserved uncharacterized genes possibly involved in electron transport and regulation.
对四种异化(亚)氯酸盐还原菌的基因组进行比较分析,揭示了一个与亚氯酸盐还原相关的基因组岛。除了已鉴定的亚氯酸盐还原酶和亚氯酸歧化酶的代谢基因外,该岛还包含多个可能参与电子传递和调控的保守未鉴定基因。
