Aromatic compounds are a common carbon and energy source for many microorganisms,
some of which can even degrade toxic chloroaromatic xenobiotics. This comparative study …

ABSTRACT A cluster of genes for the anaerobic degradation of benzoate has been
described for the phototrophic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris. Here we provide an …

Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of Burkholderia xenovorans LB400, a potent
polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degrader, have implicated growth substrate-and phase …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) in bacteria is generally regarded as a regulatory
mechanism to ensure sequential utilization of carbohydrates. Selection of the carbon …

Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1 can use benzoate or anthranilate as a sole carbon source.
These structurally similar compounds are independently converted to catechol, allowing …

A large number of bacteria are able to degrade aromatic carbon sources employing different
strategies. All these pathways are objects of regulatory control at the level of gene …

The degradation of many structurally diverse aromatic compounds in Acinetobacter baylyi is
accomplished by the β-ketoadipate pathway. In addition to specific induction of expression …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) of several operons in Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus
megaterium is mediated by the cis-acting cre sequence and trans-acting catabolite control …

The rate-limiting enzyme of anaerobic benzoate degradation by Rhodopseudomonas
palustris, benzoyl coenzyme A (CoA) reductase, is highly sensitive to oxygen, and its …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) of the Bacillus megateriumxyl operon is dependent on
the catabolite responsive element cre, the catabolite control protein (CcpA) and the histidine …
