  • Title: Genome sequence of the dioxin-mineralizing bacterium Sphingomonas wittichii RW1.
    Author: Miller TR, Delcher AL, Salzberg SL, Saunders E, Detter JC, Halden RU.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 2010 Nov; 192(22):6101-2. PubMed ID: 20833805.
    Abstract:
    Pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls and dioxins pose a serious threat to human and environmental health. Natural attenuation of these compounds by microorganisms provides one promising avenue for their removal from contaminated areas. Over the past 2 decades, studies of the bacterium Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 have provided a wealth of knowledge about how bacteria metabolize chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. Here we describe the finished genome sequence of S. wittichii RW1 and major findings from its annotation.
