Rhodopseudomonas palustris RCB100 Genome sequencing and assembly

Rhodopseudomonas palustris RCB100 has been shown to anaerobically degrade 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CBA), a recalcitrant, halogenated pollutant in terrestrial as well as aquatic environments. By sequencing the genome of this organism insights may be gained into how it degrades 3-CBA.

沼泽红假单胞菌（Rhodopseudomonas palustris）RCB100已被证实可厌氧降解3-氯苯甲酸（3-chlorobenzoate，3-CBA）——该物质是一类广泛分布于陆地与水生环境中的难降解卤代污染物。通过对该菌株的基因组进行测序，有望揭示其降解3-CBA的分子机制与途径。
