Genome sequence of a nicotine-degrading strain of Arthrobacter

J Bacteriol. 2012 Oct;194(20):5714-5. doi: 10.1128/JB.01370-12.

Abstract

We announce a 4.63-Mb genome assembly of an isolated bacterium that is the first sequenced nicotine-degrading Arthrobacter strain. Nicotine catabolism genes of the nicotine-degrading plasmid pAO1 were predicted, but plasmid function genes were not found. These results will help to better illustrate the molecular mechanism of nicotine degradation by Arthrobacter.
