Genome sequence of the sulfonamide-degrading Microbacterium sp. strain C448
Microbacterium sp. strains C448 was isolated from an agricultural soil collected on a long term experiment carried out over the past fifteen years at the experimental farm of Agriculture and AgriFood Canada consisting in regular application to the soil of a wide range of antibiotics, including sulfonamides. Strain C448 demonstrates resistance for various types of sulfonamides but also the capability of using several sulfonamides antibiotics as C source for its growth. The draft genome sequence clarified that strain C448 harbors several resistance genes, including sulI and intI genes known as sulfonamide resistance genes
