Massilia genome sequencing
Massilia sp. strain BHUDP2 capable of metabolizing/degrading estrogens namely 17 beta-Estradiol (E2) and 17 alpha-Ethinylestradiol (EE2) was recovered from a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) situated at Dinapur, Varanasi city, U.P., India. This strain was recovered by employing enrichment in Minimal Medium (MM) (supplemented with EE2 5 mg/L) as the sole source of carbon.
