Paraburkholderia dioscoreae Ch1-1 genome sequencing
<P><B><I>Burkholderia</I> sp. Ch1-1</B>. This strain is able to degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Sequencing the genomes of such organisms should enable researchers to determine the compounds involved in degradation. It will also provide information about metabolic diversity among <i>Burkholderia</i>.
