We report the draft genome sequence of strain HAB-30, which was isolated from a phenol-degrading chemostat culture. This strain contains genes encoding a multicomponent type of phenol hydroxylase, with degradation pathways for catechol and other aromatic compounds. The genome sequence will be useful for understanding the metabolic pathways involved in phenol degradation.

- This study focused on understanding how different factors influence bacterial communities by creating synthetic microbial ecosystems (SMEs) that simulate natural and engineered environments.
- Researchers constructed six SMEs using various strains of phenol-degrading bacteria and measured their growth dynamics to predict which strain would dominate the ecosystem.
- The study compared two indices, the J parameter and a newly proposed "interspecies interaction" index, finding that while both indices predicted dominance correctly in most cases, interspecies interactions played a significant role in shaping the community dynamics.
