Complete genome sequence of Tolumonas auensis type strain (TA 4T)

TLDR
The Tolumonas auensis strain is of interest because of its ability to produce toluene from phenylalanine and other phenyl precursors, as well as phenol from tyrosine.
Abstract
Tolumonas auensis Fischer-Romero et al. 1996 is currently the only validly named species of the genus Tolumonas in the family Aeromonadaceae. The strain is of interest because of its ability to produce toluene from phenylalanine and other phenyl precursors, as well as phenol from tyrosine. This is of interest because toluene is normally considered to be a tracer of anthropogenic pollution in lakes, but T. auensis represents a biogenic source of toluene. Other than Aeromonas hydrophila subsp. hydrophila, T. auensis strain TA 4T is the only other member in the family Aeromonadaceae with a completely sequenced type-strain genome. The 3,471,292 bp chromosome with a total of 3,288 protein-coding and 116 RNA genes was sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute Program JBEI 2008.

Time Series Resolution of the Fish Necrobiome Reveals a Decomposer Succession Involving Toxigenic Bacterial Pathogens.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that wild-caught fish have a reproducible decomposer succession and that the fish necrobiome serves as a potential source of putative pathogens and toxigenic bacteria.

Organic carbon and eukaryotic predation synergistically change resistance and resilience of aquatic microbial communities.

TL;DR: In this paper , the impact of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nutrients on aquatic microbial communities in urban rivers was investigated, and the results showed that low DOC enriched K-selection microorganisms (e.g., C39, Tolumonas and CR08G) had low biomass and low resilience, as well as high resistance to perturbations in changing microbial community assemblies.
