Species code:	DECAR
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Betaproteobacteria; Rhodocyclales; Rhodocyclaceae; Dechloromonas (TaxID: 159087) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Dechloromonas aromatica strain RCB is the only organism in pure culture that can oxidize benzene in the absence of oxygen. It can also oxidize aromatics such as toluene, benzoate, and chlorobenzoate. Benzene contamination is a significant problem worldwide. It is widely used in various manufacturing processes and is also a primary component of petroleum-based fuels. Benzene is a highly soluble, mobile, toxic, and stable hydrocarbon especially in ground and surface waters. It is poorly biodegraded in the absence of oxygen.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of DECAR entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 4155 (400 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 3755 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number CP000089 (circular; 4,501,104 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
