The draft genome of Sphingomonas taxi, a strain of the Sphingomonadaceae isolated from Cucurbita pepo root tissue, is presented. This Gram-negative bacterium shows 2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-1,1-dichloroethylene (DDE)-degrading potential and plant growth-promoting capacities. An analysis of its 3.9-Mb draft genome will enhance the understanding of DDE-degradation pathways and phytoremediation applications for DDE-contaminated soils.
本文公布了从西葫芦根组织中分离出的鞘氨醇单胞菌科菌株Sphingomonas taxi的基因组草图。这种革兰氏阴性菌具有降解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3.9 Mb基因组草图的分析将增进对DDE降解途径以及DDE污染土壤植物修复应用的理解。
