PAHbase is a freely available functional database of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) degrading bacteria. The database consists of relevant information obtained from scientific literature and databases. The database provides a comprehensible representation of PAH degrading bacteria with reference to its occurrence, phylogeny, and stress adaptation, potential to withstand extreme conditions, biodegradative ability, metabolic pathways and genetic basis of the degradation. The narrow search and limit options of the constructed database provide comparable information from the relevant PAH degrading candidates. The user friendly approach of PHP front end facilitates to add sequences of reported entries leading to scientific information for the specific purpose. The functional PAH database available freely on internet under URL: www.pahbase.in .
