In recent years, investigations of microbial flora associated with fish gut have deepened our
knowledge of the complex interactions occurring between microbes and host fish. The gut …

Bacteria belonging to the genera Sphingomonas and Sphingobium are known for their
ability to catabolize aromatic compounds. In this study, we analyzed the whole genome …

Advancement in the next generation sequencing technologies has led to evolution of the
field of genomics and metagenomics in a slim duration with nominal cost at precipitous …

Bacteria in genus Novosphingobium associated with biodegradation of substrates are
prevalent in environments such as lakes, soil, sea, wood and sediments. To better …

Background Sphingobium spp. are efficient degraders of a wide range of chlorinated and
aromatic hydrocarbons. In particular, strains which harbour the lin pathway genes mediating …

Some strains of soil and marine bacteria have evolved intricate metabolic pathways for
using environmentally derived aromatics as a carbon source. Many of these metabolic …

γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) is a recalcitrant man-made chlorinated pesticide. Here,
the complete genome sequences of four γ-HCH-degrading sphingomonad strains, which …

Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), a synthetic organochloride, was first used as a broad-acre
insecticide in the 1940s, and many HCH-degrading bacterial strains have been isolated …

Abstract Background Phylogenetic heterogeneity across Pseudomonas genus is
complemented by its diverse genome architecture enriched by accessory genetic elements …

Assessment of biotic and abiotic degradation reactions by studying the variation in stable
isotopic compositions of organic contaminants in contaminated soil and aquifers is being …
