p-Nitrophenol (PNP) is widely used in the manufacture of pesticides, dyes, explosives, and drug intermediates. PNP can alsoaccumulate in soil as a result of the hydrolysis of several organophosphorous insecticides, such as parathion or methyl parathion. Due to its potential toxicity and persistencein the environment, the US ATSDR and US EPA listed PNP on its “Priority Pollutants List”. Pseudomonas putida DLL-E4 is an efficient degrader of PNP. The genes of enzymes in the core genome and a genomic island encode the proteins responsible for PNP catabolism. It is significative to get complete genome of DLL-E4 to analyse the degradation process of PNP. Less...
