Genome sequence of Sphingomonas wittichii DP58, the first reported phenazine-1-carboxylic acid-degrading strain

Abstract

Sphingomonas wittichii DP58 (CCTCCM2012027), the first reported phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA)-degrading strain, was isolated from pimiento rhizosphere soils. Here we present a 5.6-Mb assembly of its genome. This sequence would contribute to the elucidation of the molecular mechanism of PCA degradation to improve the antifungal's effectiveness or remove superfluous PCA. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology.
