Biological treatment of complex saline phenolic wastewater remains a great challenge due to the low activity of bacterial populations under stressful conditions. Acid mine drainage (AMD) as a typically extreme environment, shaped unique AMD microbial communities. Microorganisms survived in the AMD environment have evolved various mechanisms of resistance to low pH, high salinity and toxic heavy metals. The primary goal of this work was to determine whether a strain isolated from an AMD could degrade phenol under stressful conditions such as low pH, high salinity and heavy metals. The results suggested that the strain Cobetia sp. SASS1 isolated from AMD presented different physiological characteristics in comparison with five most closely related species. SASS1 can efficiently degrade phenol at wide ranges of pH (3.0-9.0) and NaCl concentration (0-40 g/L), as well as the existence of Cu2+ and Mn2+. Specifically, the SASS1 could completely degrade 1500 mg/L phenol in 80 h at 10 g/L NaCl. Meanwhile, mineralization of phenol was achieved with complete degradation of 900 mg/L phenol and simultaneously COD decreasing from 2239 mg/L to 181.6 mg/L in 36 h. Based on biodegradation metabolites identification and enzyme activities analysis, both ortho-cleavage pathway and benzoic acid pathway for phenol degradation were proposed. These findings suggested that SASS1 was an efficient phenol degrader under salinity and acidic conditions, and could be considered as key population for bioremediation of industrial phenolic wastewaters under stressful conditions.

NIH genetic sequence database that provides annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences for almost 280 000 formally described species (Jan 2014) .These sequences are obtained primarily through submissions from individual laboratories and batch submissions from large-scale sequencing projects, including whole-genome shotgun (WGS) and environmental sampling projects. Most submissions are made using web-based BankIt or standalone Sequin programs, and GenBank staff assigns accession numbers upon data receipt. It is part of International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration and daily data exchange with European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) ensures worldwide coverage. GenBank is accessible through NCBI Entrez retrieval system, which integrates data from major DNA and protein sequence databases along with taxonomy, genome, mapping, protein structure and domain information, and biomedical journal literature via PubMed. BLAST provides sequence similarity searches of GenBank and other sequence databases. Complete bimonthly releases and daily updates of GenBank database are available by FTP.
