Ralstonia eutropha JMP134
(and its catabolic plasmid, pJP4) is a well-known Gram negative bacteria
able to degrade an impressive list of chloroaromatic compounds and chemically-related
pollutants. In addition to its potential for bioremediation, this strain
and others belonging to this species are models for study microbial production
of polyhydroxyalkanoates, and chemolithoautotrophic metabolism in aerobic
heterotrophs.
