Sphingobium indicum B90A, an efficient degrader of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) isomers, was isolated in 1990 from sugarcane rhizosphere soil in Cuttack, India. Here we report the draft genome sequence of this bacterium, which has now become a model system for understanding the genetics, biochemistry, and physiology of HCH degradation.
从印度库塔克的甘蔗根际土壤中分离到的高效六氯环己烷(HCH)异构体降解菌是食烃菌属(Sphingobium)的印度指示亚种(Sphingobium indicum B90A)。本研究报道了该菌的基因组草图序列,它已成为研究 HCH 降解的遗传学、生物化学和生理学的模式系统。
