AI Article Synopsis
- Sphingorhabdus sp. M41 is a newly isolated bacterium that can degrade both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, which was found in crude oil-polluted coastal sediment.
- The complete genome of strain M41 consists of a 3.32 million base pair chromosome containing 44 tRNAs, 6 rRNAs, and 3,118 protein-coding genes.
- Notably, the genome reveals several genes that may aid in breaking down hydrocarbons, marking it as the first complete genome within the Sphingorhabdus genus and potentially enhancing bioremediation efforts for polluted coastal environments.
Article Abstract
Sphingorhabdus sp. M41, capable of degrading aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, was isolated from crude oil-contaminated costal sediment by an enrichment culture and its complete genome was sequenced. The genome of strain M41 has a chromosome with a size of 3,324,420bp, including 44 tRNAs, 6 rRNAs, and 3118 protein-coding genes. In addition, many potential genes responsible for the biodegradation of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons were identified from the genome. This is the first complete genome of the genus Sphingorhabdus, which will provide insights into the bioremediation of crude oil-contaminated costal sediment by strain M41.
