Genome sequence of Sterolibacterium denitrificans Chol1S
The denitrifying beta-proteobacterium Sterolibacterium denitrificansChol1S serves as a model organism for the elusive oxygen-independentdegradation of side-chain containing steroids; we determined thecomplete genome sequence of S. denitrificans and used it as a platformto investigate the patchwork nature of these complex anaerobic degradationpathways.
