Query: NC_007298:2170181 Dechloromonas aromatica RCB, complete genome

Lineage: Dechloromonas aromatica; Dechloromonas; Rhodocyclaceae; Rhodocyclales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was enriched as a hydrocarbon-oxidizing chlorate-reducer from the Potomac River, Maryland, USA. This organism is the first one to have the capability of benzene oxidation in pure anaerobic culture by coupling it to nitrate reduction which is of importance due to the anaerobic environments often found in bioremediation projects. It can reduce perchlorate and chlorate to chloride. This organism may be used for bioremediation as it can oxidize aromatic hydrocarbon compounds, including benzene, in the absence of oxygen. Benzene is an important pollutant, and is used in many manufacturing processes and is a component of diesel fuel.

Subject: NC_012691:2614603 Tolumonas auensis DSM 9187, complete genome

Lineage: Tolumonas auensis; Tolumonas; Aeromonadaceae; Aeromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: freshwater mud; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Fresh water, Mud; Isolation: sediment of freshwater lake; Country:Switzerland. Tolumonas auensis is able to produce the aromatic hydrocarbon tolulene when grown on phenylalanine, phenyllactate,and phenylpyruvate with a separate carbon source. This organism can also produce tyrosines when grown with phenol.
