Bacillus subtilis SR1 is a metal resistant, polyaromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium isolated from petroleum contaminated sites. This study reports the characteristics of the genome of the isolate containing one circular chromosome (4,093,698 bp) annotated into 4155 genes and 4095 proteins. The genome analysis confirmed the presence of multiple catabolic genes: aromatic ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase (COG2146), aromatic ring hydroxylase (COG2368), catechol 2, 3 dioxygenase (COG2514), 4-hydroxybenzoate decarboxylase (COG0043), carboxymuconolactone decarboxylase (COG0599) responsible for the catabolism of aromatic hydrocarbons along with the genes for biosurfactant production and functional genes (czcD and cadA) for resistance to cadmium, zinc, and cobalt. Gas Chromatography-Mass spectroscopy analysis revealed up to 35% in-vitro degradation of benzo(a)pyrene after 21 days of growth along with the production of different intermediate metabolites. The pot trial analysis in the greenhouse condition validated the rhizodegradation of BaP, which was significantly higher in the presence of plant-microbe association (85%) than degradation in bulk soil (68%).
