Pseudomonas brassicacearum strain:LZ-4 Genome sequencing and assembly. Pseudomonas brassicacearum strain:LZ-4

Lanzhou reach of the Yellow River is contaminated by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and heavy metals. 16S rRNA sequencing data has showed that strain LZ-4 was closely related to Pseudomonas brassicacearum. LZ-4 was isolated from Lanzhou reach of the Yellow River.LZ-4 was capable of reducing hexavalent chromate to trivalent chromate when using naphthalene as the sole carbon source. It was able to resist and reduce 1mM Cr(VI). It also could degrade naphthalene to carbon dioxide. It might be a good candidate for hexavalent chromate and aromatic compounds remediation.
