Permanent draft genome sequence of sulfoquinovose-degrading Pseudomonas putida strain SQ1.

ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas putida SQ1 was isolated for its ability to utilize the plant sugar sulfoquinovose (6-deoxy-6-sulfoglucose) for growth, in order to define its SQ-degradation pathway and the enzymes and genes involved. Here we describe the features of the organism, together with its draft genome sequence and annotation. The draft genome comprises 5,328,888 bp and is predicted to encode 5,824 protein-coding genes; the overall G?+?C content is 61.58 %. The genome annotation is being used for identification of proteins that might be involved in SQ degradation by peptide fingerprinting-mass spectrometry.
