title: Complete Genome Sequence of Polychlorinated Biphenyl Degrader Comamonas testosteroni TK102 (NBRC 109938).
abstract: Comamonas testosteroni TK102 (NBRC 109938; JCM 19603) can utilize biphenyl as a sole carbon source and degrade polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The complete nucleotide sequence of the TK102 genome was determined. TK102 possesses several integrative and conjugative element-like regions, and one of them carries biphenyl-degradative genes.
