Cupriavidus necator KK10 has been investigated in azaarene and diesel fuel biodegradation studies and is capable of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production. Its complete genome sequence revealed two closed circular sequences, the chromosome (6.68 Mb) and plasmid (1.67 Mb). The KK10 genome carries functional genes potentially responsible for azaarene biodegradation and polyhydroxyalkanoate biosynthesis.
