Description: |
Initial interest in Dechloromonas aromatica strain RCB arose from its ability to anaerobically degrade benzene. The a priori prediction that the D. aromatica genome would contain previously characterized "central" enzymes to support anaerobic aromatic degradation of benzene proved to be false, suggesting the presence of novel anaerobic aromatic degradation pathways in this species.
