Complete Genome Sequence of Rhodopseudomonas palustris RCB100, an Anoxygenic Phototroph That Degrades 3-Chlorobenzoate

Irshad UI Haq, Kathryn R. Fixen

Abstract

The purple nonsulfur bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris RCB100 anaerobically degrades 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CBA), a halogenated pollutant. R. palustris RCB100 uses 3-CBA as a carbon source, while most R. palustris strains cannot. We report the complete genome sequence of strain RCB100 to help gain insight into how this bacterium degrades 3-CBA.
