Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain:W-101 Genome sequencing

Pseudomonas aeruginosa W-101 was isolated from Dagang oil reservoir Sewage in northern China. The strain could utilize crude oil as sole source of carbon and energy. As a petroleum-degrading bacteria, the genome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa W-101 may provide new information on bioremediation of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil, especially in the desulfurization and denitrification pathways. Analysis of the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa W-101 could reveal many clues regarding the basis of biodegradation.
