γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) is a man-made chlorinated insecticide that has caused serious environmental problems. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of the γ-HCH-degrading bacterium Sphingomonas sp. strain MM-1, which consists of one chromosome and five plasmids. All the specific lin genes that are almost identical to those of Sphingobium japonicum UT26 for the conversion of γ-HCH to β-ketoadipate are dispersed on four out of the five plasmids.
γ-六氯环己烷(γ-HCH)是一种人造氯化杀虫剂,已造成严重的环境问题。在此,我们报告了γ-HCH降解菌鞘氨醇单胞菌属菌株MM-1的完整基因组序列,其由一条染色体和五个质粒组成。所有与日本鞘氨醇单胞菌UT26中用于将γ-HCH转化为β-酮己二酸的特定lin基因几乎相同,这些基因分散在五个质粒中的四个上。
