Rhodococcus sp. Chr-9 can degrade pyridine in the presence of chromate. Its draft genome sequence revealed that strain Chr-9 harbors sets of genes for resistance to heavy metals such as lead, mercury, arsenate, and cobalt, as well as three different gene clusters for metabolizing aromatic compounds, such as phenol, benzoate, and 4-nitrophenol.
红球菌属Chr-9菌株能够在铬酸盐存在的情况下降解吡啶。其基因组草图序列显示,Chr-9菌株含有对铅、汞、砷酸盐和钴等重金属具有抗性的基因集,以及三个用于代谢芳香族化合物(如苯酚、苯甲酸盐和4-硝基苯酚)的不同基因簇。
