Genomic analysis of dibenzofuran-degrading Pseudomonas veronii strain Pvy reveals its biodegradative versatility.

ABSTRACT: Certain industrial chemicals accumulate in the environment due to their recalcitrant properties. Bioremediation uses the capability of some environmental bacteria to break down these chemicals and attenuate the pollution. One such bacterial strain, designated Pvy, was isolated from sediment samples from a lagoon in Romania located near an oil refinery due to its capacity to degrade dibenzofuran (DF). The genome sequence of the Pvy strain was obtained using an Oxford Nanopore MiniION platform. According to the consensus 16S rRNA gene sequence that was compiled from six 16S rRNA gene copies contained in the genome and orthologous average nucleotide identity (OrthoANI) calculation, the Pvy strain was identified as Pseudomonas veronii, which confirmed the identification obtained with the aid o
