Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were recovered from metagenomic assemblies from a nitrate-reducing benzene-degrading enrichment culture. Ten MAGs of high quality or functional interest to benzene degradation are reported, seven of which are single contig genomes.

We present a metagenome assembled genome (MAG) of an anaerobic bacterium from a nitrate-reducing, benzene-degrading enrichment culture (NRBC). The draft genome consists of 20 contigs with a total length of 4.09 Mbp and includes putative carboxylase genes likely involved in benzene activation.

A key question in microbial ecology is what the driving forces behind the persistence of large biodiversity in natural environments are. We studied a microbial community with more than 100 different types of species which evolved in a 15-years old bioreactor with benzene as the main carbon and energy source and nitrate as the electron acceptor. Using genome-centric metagenomics plus metatranscriptomics, we demonstrate that most of the community members likely feed on metabolic left-overs or on necromass while only a few of them, from families Rhodocyclaceae and Peptococcaceae, are candidates to degrade benzene.

In this study, we report transcription of genes involved in aerobic and anaerobic benzene degradation pathways in a benzene-degrading denitrifying continuous culture. Transcripts associated with the family Peptococcaceae dominated all samples (21-36% relative abundance) indicating their key role in the community. We found a highly transcribed gene cluster encoding a presumed anaerobic benzene carboxylase (AbcA and AbcD) and a benzoate-coenzyme A ligase (BzlA).
