Paenarthrobacter sp. GOM3 Is a Novel Marine Species With Monoaromatic Degradation Relevance.

ABSTRACT: Paenarthrobacter sp. GOM3, which is a strain that represents a new species-specific context within the genus Paenarthrobacter, is clearly a branched member independent of any group described thus far. This strain was recovered from marine sediments in the Gulf of Mexico, and despite being isolated from a consortium capable of growing with phenanthrene as a sole carbon source, this strain could not grow successfully in the presence of this substrate alone. We hypothesized that the GOM3 strain could participate in the assimilation of intermediate metabolites for the degradation of aromatic compounds. To date, there are no experimental reports of Paenarthrobacter species that degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) or their intermediate metabolites. In this work, we repo
