Complete Genome Sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia AB550, an Environmental Solar Radiation- and Multidrug-Resistant Strain Isolated in Western Australia

Abstract

We report here the complete genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia AB550, a multidrug- and solar radiation-resistant strain isolated from the effluents of an urban wastewater treatment plant in Western Australia. The genome consists of a single 4.9-Mb chromosome.

Tetracycline-modifying enzymeSmTetX fromStenotrophomonas maltophilia

“…The amino-acid sequence of TetX from B. thetaiotaomicron (Volkers et al, 2011; PDB entry 2y6r) was used as a search template. The sequence of SmTetX, a putative FAD-dependent monooxygenase from S. maltophilia strain AB550 (Permala et al, 2018) with NCBI Reference Sequence WP_049406473 (O' Leary et al, 2016;Arita et al, 2021) included in GenBank entry CP028899 (Glady-Croue et al, 2018), shares 28% sequence identity and 41% sequence similarity with TetX according to EMBOSS Needle (Rice et al, 2000).…”

Potential of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in green biosurfactant production

“…In addition, S. maltophilia has been isolated in association with wastewater and water treatment plants, in surface water, groundwater, and bioremediation reactor samples from the Niagara watershed (Nakatsu et al, 1995), water treatment and subsequent distribution systems (Hoefel et al, 2005), a drinking water treatment plant (Gomes et al, 2020), wastewater treatment plants (Permala et al, 2018), effluents from palm oil mills (Bala et al, 2018), final effluents from a pig farm (Kim;Park;Seo, 2018) wastewater from an oil reservoir (Hassanshahian et al, 2013) and in contaminated sewage (Elufisan et al, 2020). Several types of sediments containing S. maltophilia have been identified, i.e., sewage sediments from agricultural drainage ponds (Dungan et al, 2003), anaerobic and activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant (Chen et al, 2020;URSZULA et al, 2009;Xiong et al, 2020), wastewater bioreactor sludge (Bramucci;Nagarajan, 2000) wastewater sediments in a processing unit (Al-Dhabi et al, 2021), sediment from a coal tailings solids storage facility (Siddique et al, 2007), coastal sediment from a shipyard Datta, 2013), sediment of a channel (DUDÁŠOVÁ et al, 2014), fresh water (Jayaraman; Sigamani; Ramamurthy, 2021), seawater (Jamal et al, 2018), and polluted river (Iyer;Damania;Iken, 2019), sediments, and even microplastics from a river (ZHANG, et al 2021).…”
