The expression dynamics of the catabolic promoters of the TOL plasmid pWW0 has been
examined in single cells of Pseudomonas putida mt‐2 exposed to m‐xylene. To this end, we …

A subgenomic array of structural and regulatory genes of the TOL plasmid pWW0 of
Pseudomonas putida mt‐2 has been constructed to sort out the interplay between m‐xylene …

Transcriptional lacZ fusions to the Pu and Pm promoters of the TOL (toluene degradation)
plasmid inserted in monocopy in the chromosome of Pseudomonas putida showed a very …

The structure of the extant transcriptional control network of the TOL plasmid pWW0 born by
Pseudomonas putida mt‐2 for biodegradation of m‐xylene is far more complex than one …

The first mechanistic description of gene expression control was proposed by Jacob and
Monod (1961) for the lac operon of E. coli. The first version of the model contemplated …

Background The genetic network of the TOL plasmid pWW0 of the soil bacterium
Pseudomonas putida mt-2 for catabolism of m-xylene is an archetypal model for …

When Pseudomonas putida KT2440 cells encounter toluene in the growth medium, they
perceive it simultaneously as a potential nutrient to be metabolized, as a membrane …

We determined, under several growth conditions, the kinetics of mRNA synthesis from the
four Pseudomonas putida pWW0 plasmid promoters involved in degradation of xylenes and …

Operon OP2 on the Pseudomonas putida TOL plasmid encodes enzymes for m-toluate
catabolism; transcription of this operon is activated by XylS in the presence of m-toluate …

The TOL plasmid pWW53 encodes a catabolic pathway for the metabolism of toluene. It
bears an upper-pathway operon for the oxidation of toluene to benzoate and a copy of the …
