Abstract Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are hazards to human health and exhibit
harmful effects to the environment, owing to their typically lipophilic and bio-accumulative …

Bacteria belonging to the genera Sphingomonas and Sphingobium are known for their
ability to catabolize aromatic compounds. In this study, we analyzed the whole genome …

Sphingomonads comprise a physiologically versatile group within the Alphaproteobacteria
that includes strains of interest for biotechnology, human health, and environmental nutrient …

TonB-dependent transport system plays a critical role in the transport of nutrients across the
energy-deprived outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. It contains a specialized outer …

Background Sphingobium spp. are efficient degraders of a wide range of chlorinated and
aromatic hydrocarbons. In particular, strains which harbour the lin pathway genes mediating …

Over the last 60 years, the use of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) as a pesticide has resulted
in the production of> 4 million tons of HCH waste, which has been dumped in open sinks …

Sphingopyxis inhabit diverse environmental niches, including marine, freshwater, oceans,
soil and anthropogenic sites. The genus includes 20 phylogenetically distinct, valid species …

Sphingobium fuliginis ATCC 27551, previously classified as Flavobacterium sp. ATCC
27551, degrades neurotoxic organophosphate insecticides and nerve agents through the …

Among sphingomonads, Sphingobium indicum B90A is widely investigated for its ability to
degrade a manmade pesticide, γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH) and its isomers (α-, β-, δ …

Abstract Background Phylogenetic heterogeneity across Pseudomonas genus is
complemented by its diverse genome architecture enriched by accessory genetic elements …
