Description
Chetverikov and co-authors study a soil bacterium that may help break down a stubborn class of pollutants. The strain, Pseudomonas mosselii 5(3), came from soil tainted with pesticides. The team sequenced its full genome and grew it on perfluorocarboxylic acids with seven to ten carbons. These acids resist breakdown and persist in the environment.
The genome held about 5,134 genes on a single chromosome. Several genes code for enzymes and transporters tied to the breakdown of fluorinated compounds. Growth tests over seven days checked whether the strain could use the acids as a carbon source. The work frames the strain as a candidate for cleaning polluted sites.
