Azoarcus sp. Image source: Not Available Species Azoarcus sp. Kingdom Bacteria Taxonomy Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Rhodocyclales; Rhodocyclaceae; Azoarcus sp. Strains EbN1 Gram Stain Negative Accession Numbers EbN1: NC_006513 NC_006823 NC_006824 Genome EbN1: Chromosome: 4,296,230 bp Plasmid 1: 207,355 bp Plasmid 2: 223,670 bp Background Strain EbN1 is an aromatic-degrading bacteria found in freshwater and soil habitats. A unique property of strain EbN1 is its capacity to degrade toluene and ethylbenzene via two different, strictly anaerobic pathways. The absence of nitrogen fixation and specific interaction with plants separates EbN1 ecophysiologically from the closely related nitrogen-fixing plant symbionts of the Azoarcus cluster.
