Complete Genome Sequence of Rhodococcus erythropolis X5, a Psychrotrophic Hydrocarbon-Degrading Biosurfactant-Producing Bacterium

Abstract

Rhodococcus erythropolis X5 is a psychrotrophic (cold-adapted) hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium, as it showed effective n-alkane destruction at low positive temperatures. Here, the genome of strain X5 was completely sequenced; it consists of a 6,472,161-bp circular chromosome (62.25% GC content) and a 526,979-bp linear plasmid, pRhX5-526k (62.37% GC content).

Characterization of Genomic Diversity In Bacteriophages InfectingRhodococcus

“…The genome lengths of E3 and Finch are similar to one another (142,536 bp and 138,896 bp, respectively) with their differences attributable to discrepancies in their number of ORFs (209 and 228, respectively) (Supplemental Table 1). There is some discrepancy between the G+C% content of E3 and Finch (67.5% and 63.1%); however, these values are similar to that of their respective host’s genomes (Delegan et al, 2019; Khairy et al, 2016; Song et al, 2022; Strnad et al, 2014; Yoshida et al, 2019).…”

Physiological and biochemical characterization and genome analysis of Rhodococcus qingshengii strain 7B capable of crude oil degradation and plant stimulation

“…Previously, strain X5 [44] was identified as R. erythropolis . However, in accordance with the classification proposed in the article [45] , later we redefined it as R. qingshengii . All the strains have great metabolic potential: they utilize complex hydrocarbon mixtures, oil sludge and alkanes from C 8 to C 36 in length at both low (F-2-2, X5, A29-k1 [45] ) and elevated (7B) temperatures.…”

Interestingly, among all analyzed R. qingshengii , only strain 7B is able to grow and utilize hydrocarbons at temperatures above 40°C, the remaining strains do not grow at such temperatures.…”

Effect of light-converting coatings on the growth of Sarepta mustard (Brassica juncea L.) plants colonized by associative microorganisms

“…For colonization, bacterial strains Pseudomonas putida KT 2442 (pNF142::TnMod) [13] and Rhodococcus erythropolis X5 [14], obtained from the Laboratory of Plasmid Biology of the G.K. Scriabin Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms of the Russian Academy of Sciences, were used. The bacteria were grown on LB medium [15].…”
