Query: NC_008541:4679022 Arthrobacter sp. FB24 chromosome 1, complete sequence
Lineage: Arthrobacter; Arthrobacter; Micrococcaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Arthrobacter sp. FB24 was isolated from soil contaminated with heavy metals and aromatic solvents. This strain has a high degree of tolerance to chromium and other metals, may be radiation resistant and is a hydrocarbon degrader.
Subject: NC_008781:2925818 Polaromonas naphthalenivorans CJ2, complete genome
Lineage: Polaromonas naphthalenivorans; Polaromonas; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Naphthalene-degrading bacterium. Polaromonas naphthalenivorans was isolated from naphthalene-contaminated, freshwater sediment. This organism is capable of aerobic degradation of naphthalene at temperatures of less than 20 degrees C. Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). PAHs can be toxic and/or carcinogenic, therefore PAH contamination is of considerable concern.
