| Abstract |
Environmental pollution caused by the release of industrial chemicals is currently one of the most important environmental harms. Manufacturing chemicals can be biodegraded, and valuable intermediates can be used as pharmacophores in drug targeting and have several other useful purposes. Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), a non-aromatic brominated flame retardant, is a toxic compound that consists of a cycloaliphatic ring of 12 carbon atoms to which six bromine atoms are attached. It is formed by bromination of cis-trans-trans-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene, but its use is now restricted in several countries, because it is an environmental pollutant. Little is known about whether bacteria can degrade HBCD. A bacterial strain that degrades HBCD was recently isolated using enrichment culture techniques. Based on morphological, biochemical and phylogenetic analysis this isolate was categorized as Bacillus cereus and named strain HBCD-sjtu. Maximum growth and HBCD-degrading activity were observed when this strain was grown at 30 °C, pH 7.0 and 200 RPM in mineral salt medium containing 0.5 mm HBCD. The genome of strain HBCD-sjtu, which consists of only one circular chromosome, was sequenced. This whole genome sequence will be crucial for illuminating the molecular mechanisms of HBCD degradation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 July 2018.
All research outputs
#20,525,274
of 23,094,276 outputs
Outputs from 3 Biotech
#819
of 1,251 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#288,407
of 328,989 outputs
Outputs of similar age from 3 Biotech
#31
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,094,276 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,251 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,989 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
