Genome Structure
[1] According to the Pseudomonas Genome Database the size of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 genome is 6,181,863 nucleotide pairs. Of that, there is a 61.5% guanine and cytosine pairing and the other 38.5% is adenine and thymine. P. putida has a single circular chromosome. P. putida was found to share many homologous ORF's (4610/5420) with bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is the first gram negative bacteria certified as a biosafety host for cloning of foreign genes [2]. Include S Ribosomal sequence that you obtained from PCR and sequencing here.
