Comparative genomic analysis of the hydrocarbon-oxidizing dibenzothiophene-desulfurizing gordonia strains

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Condensed thiophenes may be responsible for most of the sulfur content in crude oil. Genes of the DBT desulfurization gene cluster (dsz operon) were revealed in genomes of eight Gordonia strains by the BLAST service. The aim of this study was the whole genome sequencing of G amicalis 6-1 and comparison of the gene clusters responsible for dibenzothiophene desulfurization and alkane degradation in genomes of strain 6-1 and of two previously isolated strains G. amicalis 1D and G. alkanivorans 135 that had no dsz gene cluster. Based on the high 16S rRNA . . .
