Here, we present draft genome sequences of Pseudomonas putida strains UV4 and UV4/95, which demonstrate an ability to conduct a wide range of industrially important biotransformations of arenes, alkenes, and phenols.

We report here the 5.58-Mb draft genome of Pseudomonas putida strain KG-4 obtained from the oil fields of the Krishna-Godavari basin, Andhra Pradesh, India. The genome sequence is expected to facilitate identification and understanding of genes associated with hydrocarbon metabolism, which can help in developing strategies for managing oil spills and bioremediation.

Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato DC3000 contains genes for 15 sigma factors. The majority are members of the extracytoplasmic function class of sigma factors, including five that belong to the iron starvation subgroup. In this study, we identified the genes controlled by three iron starvation sigma factors. Their regulons are composed of a small number of genes likely to be involved in iron uptake.

We are developing a new recombineering system to assist experimental manipulation of the Pseudomonas syringae genome. P. syringae is a globally dispersed plant pathogen and an important model species used to study the molecular biology of bacteria-plant interactions. We previously identified orthologs of the lambda Red bet/exo and Rac recET genes in P. syringae and confirmed that they function ...

We report here the first draft genome sequences of Pseudomonas fluorescens strains that have been isolated from humans. The seven assembled draft genomes contained an average of 60.1% G+C content, were an average genomic size of 6.3 Mbp, and mapped by multilocus sequence analysis to subclade III.

We report on the presence of a functional hydroxyectoine biosynthesis gene cluster, ectABCD-ask, in Pseudomonas stutzeri DSM5190(T) and evaluate the suitability of P. stutzeri DSM5190(T) for hydroxyectoine production. Furthermore, we present information on heterologous de novo production of the compatible solute hydroxyectoine in Escherichia coli. In this host, the P. stutzeri gene cluster rema...

Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes S1, a marine bacterium, exhibited strong resistance to a high concentration of Hg(2+) and remarkable Hg(2+) bioaccumulation capacity. Here, we report the 6.9-Mb genome sequence of P. pseudoalcaligenes S1, which may help clarify its phylogenetic status and provide further understanding of the mechanisms of mercury bioremediation in a marine environment.

A near-complete Pseudomonas stutzeri draft genome was extracted from a coalbed metagenome. The draft genome described herein provides insight into the functional pathways encoded by this bacterium and its potential role in coalbed methane environments.
