Genomic and Functional Characterization of Environmental Strains of SDS-Degrading Pseudomonas spp., Providing a Source of New Sulfatases.

ABSTRACT: Biochemical, physiological and genomic comparisons of two Pseudomonas strains, assigned previously to the Pseudomonas jessenii subgroup, which are efficient SDS-degraders were carried out. A GO enrichment analysis showed that the genomes of SDS-degraders encode more genes connected with bacterial cell wall biosynthesis and alkanesulfonate monooxygenase activity than their closest relatives from the P. jessenii subgroup. A transcriptomic analysis of the most promising strain exposed to detergent suggests that although SDS can be later utilized as a carbon source, in early stages it influences cell envelope integrity, causing a global stress response followed by cell wall modification and induction of repair mechanisms. Genomes of the analyzed strains from P. jessenii
