Abstract

Pseudomonas alkylphenolia (KCTC 22206, JCM 16553) metabolizes phenols with an alkyl chain (C1-C5) at the para position. This strain forms mushroom-like aerial structures under p-cresol vapor, and its mutants are exploited to augment the production of poly-β-d-mannuronate and its derivatives. In this study, we report the 5.7Mbp complete genome sequence of P. alkylphenolia, which will provide a basis for biotechnological applications of this strain.

Keywords: Alkylphenol; Genome; Poly-β-d-mannuronate; Pseudomonas.
