HAMAP: Sphingomonas wittichii (strain RW1 / DSM 6014 / JCM 10273) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Sphingomonas wittichii (strain RW1 / DSM 6014 / JCM 10273)
Species code: SPHWW
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Sphingomonadales; Sphingomonadaceae; Sphingomonas (TaxID: 392499) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Sphingomonas wittichii (strain RW1 / DSM 6014 / JCM 10273) is a Gram-negative, motile rod. It was isolated in the 1980s from the River Elbe in Germany. It is able to completely mineralize the organic backbone of toxic dioxin pollutants (the dibenzo- p -dioxin structure), and to co-oxidize a large number of chlorinated congeners of both dibenzo- p -dioxin and dibenzofuran. These metabolic capabilities are rare and potentially beneficial as dioxin contaminants represent a significant threat to human and ecological health due to their bioaccumulation and biomagnification in the food chain, and their acute and chronic animal and human toxicity.
