We announce the draft genome of Methylobacterium radiotolerans, a Gram-negative bacterium isolated from Cucurbita pepo roots. This strain shows 2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethylene (DDE)-degrading potential and plant growth-promoting capacities. Analyses of its 6.8-Mb genome will improve our understanding of DDE-degradation pathways and aid in the deployment of phytoremediation technologies to remediate DDE-contaminated soils.
我们公布了耐辐射甲基杆菌的基因组草图,该菌是从西葫芦根部分离出的革兰氏阴性菌。此菌株具有降解2,2-双(对氯苯基)-1,1-二氯乙烯(DDE)的潜力和促进植物生长的能力。对其6.8兆碱基基因组的分析将增进我们对DDE降解途径的理解,并有助于部署植物修复技术以修复受DDE污染的土壤。
