DOE Joint Genome Institute


This web page highlights the microbe Polaromonas strain JS666. The microbe was found to degrade trans-1,2-dichloroethene (tDCE), TCE, VC, 1,2-dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) and ETH in addition to coal tar; these contaminants can be found in polluted ground water. The genome of Polaromonas strain JS666 is also discussed. In addition, this site contains an image of the microbe, literature referenced and links to the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (JGI) home page, blast alignment search, annotation and microbial sequence downloads.
