Stenotrophomonas sp. SG1 Genome sequencing and assembly

The bacterial strain Stenotrophomonas sp. strain SG1 can transform TNT in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The bioinformatic study of assembled genome reveals the presence of genes such as nemA and namA that are involved in TNT metabolism pathways. Also, the genes essential for respiratory nitrate reduction are mapped as well. The bacteria, therefore, possess the tremendous potential to rehabilitate the sites contaminated with TNT.
