Abstract

Pseudomonas sp. strain 273 utilizes terminally mono- and bis-halogenated alkanes (C₇ to C₁₆) as carbon and energy sources under oxic conditions. During metabolism of fluorinated alkanes, strain 273 releases inorganic fluoride and synthesizes fluorinated phospholipids. The complete genome sequence consists of a circular 7.48-Mb chromosome with a G+C content of 67.5%, containing 6,890 genes.
