Table 1_Hydrocarbon degradation and genomic insights of Klebsiella pneumoniae from oil-con

A study of 11 Klebsiella isolates from oil-spill contaminated soils in Guimaras Island, Philippines, with one isolate (KLMG-HD-125) showing complete degradation of C11–C25 n-alkanes. The dataset includes whole genome sequence analysis of KLMG-HD-125, revealing a 5.55 Mb genome and genes for alkane degradation and stress response. It was authored by Kalel Liam M. Garcia and published on figshare in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify genomic determinants for alkane degradation based on the presence of genes like ladA, adhP, and adh.
• Assess the bioremediation potential of environmental Klebsiella strains based on reported degradation efficiencies of at least 66% on diesel, hexane, hexadecane, and xylene.
• Evaluate biosafety for environmental application based on the analysis of 11 virulence-associated genes and absence of hypervirulence determinants.
• Study microbial adaptation to petroleum-impacted environments based on identified pathways for oxidative, membrane, and solvent stress response.

Strengths

• Includes specific genomic data for a key isolate, such as a genome size of 5.55 Mb and GC content of 57.2%.
• Reports concrete degradation efficiencies for 11 isolates, with at least 66% degradation on multiple hydrocarbon substrates.
• Provides detailed phenotypic and genomic characterization of a single isolate with complete oxidative degradation of C11–C25 n-alkanes.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is a 694.4 KB DOCX file, suggesting limited raw data and a primary focus on textual analysis and results.
