Halophilic Martelella strain AD-3, isolated from highly saline petroleum-contaminated soil, can efficiently degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as phenanthrene and anthracene, in 3-5% salinity. Gentisic acid is a key intermediate in the microbial degradation of PAH compounds. However, there is little information on PAH degradation by moderately halophilic bacteria. In this study, a 1,077-bp long gene encoding gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase (GDO) from a halophilic Martelella strain A ...[more]
