TOL plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida encodes a set of enzymes responsible for the
degradation of toluene. The structural genes for these catobolic enzymes are clustered into …

Cointegrate plasmids were formed in vivo between the broad-host-range R-plasmid RP4
and two catabolic plasmids derived from Pseudomonas putida HS1. One of these was the …

The XylR protein encoded by pWWO, the TOL (toluene biodegradation) plasmid of
Pseudomonas putida, activates at a distance the transcription of Pu and Ps, which are the …

A strain of Pseudomonas (P. putida HS1) was found to resemble P. putida (arvilla) mt-2 in its
ability to degrade toluene, m-and p-xylene, 1, 2, 4-trimethylbenzene (pseudocumene), and 3 …

To investigate the activation mechanism of the enhancer‐binding protein XylR encoded by
the TOL plasmid of Pseudomonas putida mt‐2, a combinatorial library was generated …

Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E is a solvent-tolerant strain able to grow with toluene as the
sole C-source. Tn5 mutagenesis was carried out and a mutant unable to use toluene as the …

The tmoABCDEF genes encode the toluene-4-monooxygenase from Pseudomonas
mendocina KR1. Upstream from the tmoA gene an open reading frame, tmoX, encoding a …

Expression of the lower catabolic pathway of the TOL plasmid pWWO requires an aromatic
acid inducer and the product of the xylS regulatory gene. Pseudomonas putida cells …

Strains with greater ability to dissimilate m-toluate were obtained from the wild-type
Pseudomonas putida (arvilla) mt-2 that harbors the TOL plasmid. Increased growth of a …
