The Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens PS2 strain was isolated from hydrocarbons-contaminated petrochemical sludge as a long chain alkane-utilizing bacteria. Complete genome analysis showed the presence of two alkane oxidation systems: alkane 1-monooxygenase (alkB) and cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (P450) genes with established high homology to the well-known alkane-degrading actinobacteria. According to the comparative genome analysis, both systems have a wide distribution among environmental and clinical isolates of the genus Tsukamurella and other members of Actinobacteria.

In the present study, we studied humoral immunity in samples of the blood sera of COVID-19 convalescents of varying severity and patients who died due to this infection, using native SARS-CoV-2 and its individual recombinant proteins. The cross-reactivity with SARS-CoV (2002) was also assessed.

- - The study presents the genome sequence of strain PS2, which was isolated from hydrocarbon sludge at an organic synthesis factory.
- - This strain can use a variety of -alkanes (specifically from C to C) as its only source of carbon.
- - Understanding the genome will help reveal how this strain breaks down long-chain -alkanes, which is important for biodegradation processes.
