Martelella sp. AD-3 Genome sequencing. Martelella sp. AD-3

It has high capabilities for degrading some PAHs, such as phenanthrene and anthracene, and it uses the toxicants as its sole carbon source. In addition, the strain can tolerate a broad range of salinities (0.1 to 15%) and a range of pHs (6.0 to 10.0) in the process of degrading PAHs. To date, few genomes of Martelella spp. have been sequenced; thus, this genome report of strain AD-3 may provide new genetic information regarding its remediation of environmental organic toxicants under high-salinity conditions.
