Draft Genome Sequence of the Phenol-Degrading Bacterium Cupriavidus sp. Strain P-10, Isolated from Trichloroethene-Contaminated Aquifer Soil

Abstract

A batch culture was enriched on phenol with trichloroethene-contaminated aquifer soil as an inoculum. Cupriavidus sp.

Draft Genome Sequence of Cupriavidus sp. Strain IK-TO18, Isolated from Antimony-Contaminated Sediment

“…Species in the genus Cupriavidus are well characterized for their ability to tolerate numerous heavy metals and degrade aromatic compounds ( 1 – 3 ). The versatile metabolisms of Cupriavidus species have gained interest as model organisms in bioremediation and geochemical studies.…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Phenol-Degrading Variovorax boronicumulans Strain c24

“…Strain c24 contained a multicomponent phenol hydroxylase ( 12 – 15 ), with ortho -cleavage metabolic pathways for catechol via catechol 1,2-dioxygenase ( 16 ). From the results of annotation, genes related to degradation of aromatic compounds (e.g., naphthalene, several kinds of benzoate compounds, functionally unknown monooxygenase, and dioxygenase) and heavy metal (e.g., Cu, Ag, Ni, As, and Co) transport systems were found.…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Phenol-Degrading Variovorax boronicumulans Strain HAB-30

“…These findings suggest that strain HAB-30 is a potentially useful bacterium for the bioremediation of aromatic compounds. The genome data will provide a better understanding of phenol-degrading bacteria (14)(15)(16), which may contribute to the future design of rational strategies for bioremediation of xenobiotic compounds in the environment.…”
