Genome sequence of Pseudomonas putida strain SJTE-1, a bacterium capable of degrading estrogens and persistent organic pollutants

J Bacteriol. 2012 Sep;194(17):4781-2. doi: 10.1128/JB.01060-12.

Abstract

Pseudomonas putida strain SJTE-1 can utilize 17β-estradiol and other environmental estrogens/toxicants, such as estrone, and naphthalene as sole carbon sources. We report the draft genome sequence of strain SJTE-1 (5,551,505 bp, with a GC content of 62.25%) and major findings from its annotation, which could provide insights into its biodegradation mechanisms.
