Project description:The marine obligate hydrocarbonoclastic bacterium Thalassolituus oleivorans MIL-1 metabolises a broad range of aliphatic hydrocarbons almost exclusively as carbon and energy sources. We used LC-MS/MS shotgun proteomics to identify proteins involved in aerobic alkane degradation during growth on medium- (n-C14) or long-chain (n-C28) alkanes.
Project description:Thalassolituus oleivorans is one of the most prevalent marine gammaproteobacteria in microbial communities, emerging after oil spills in coastal, estuarine, and surface seawaters. Here, we present the assembled genome of strain T. oleivorans MIL-1 (DSM 14913(T)), which is 3,920,328 bp with a G+C content of 46.6%.
