Ewida, Zabrenna Griffiths, Paul Stothard We recently isolated Pseudomonas sp. strain W15Feb9B from Ochlocknee River, Florida and demonstrated potent biodegradative activity against two commonly used pesticides- Alachlor [(2-chloro-2`,6`-diethylphenyl-N (methoxymethyl)acetanilide)] and Endosulfan [(6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9methano-2,3,4-benzo(e)di-oxathiepin-3-oxide], respectively. To further identify the repertoire of metabolic functions possessed by strain W15Feb9B, a draft genome sequence was obtained, assembled, annotated and analyzed. The genome sequence of strain 2385 has been deposited in GenBank under accession number JTKF00000000; BioSample number SAMN03151543. The sequences assembled into 192 contigs with a genome size of 6,031,588, G+C content of 60.34, and 5512 total number of putative genes. RAST annotated a total of 542 subsystems in the genome of strain W15Feb9B along with the presence of 5360 coding sequences. A genome wide survey of strain W15Feb9B indicated that the strain has potential to degrade several other pollutants including Atrazine, Caprolactam, Dioxin, PAHs (such as Naphthalene) and several chloroaromatic compounds.
