Genome sequence of organophosphorus pesticide-degrading bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri strain YC-YH1

Abstract

Pseudomonas stutzeri strain YC-YH1, isolated from pesticide-polluted soil, efficiently degrades organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) such as chlorpyrifos, parathion-methyl, triazophos, and parathion. Here, we report the genome sequence (4.83 Mb) of P. stutzeri YC-YH1 to facilitate further investigation of the OPP-degrading mechanism.
