Abstract
The genome of Sphingobacterium sp. strain PM2-P1-29 was sequenced. The bacterium contains a physiologically active tet(X) gene, encoding a tetracycline-degrading monooxygenase. To our knowledge, this is the only bacterium naturally harboring tet(X) for which tetracycline degradation has been demonstrated.
