The chromosomal benK gene was identified within a supraoperonic gene cluster involved in
benzoate degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1, and benK was expressed in …

BenM and CatM are distinct, but similar, LysR-type transcriptional regulators of the soil
bacterium Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1. Together, the two regulators control the expression …

In Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1, benzoate degradation requires the ben genes for
converting benzoate to catechol and the cat genes for degrading catechol. Here we describe …

Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1 is able to grow on a range of esters of aromatic alcohols,
converting them to the corresponding aromatic carboxylic acids by the sequential action of …

Pseudomonas putida converts benzoate to catechol using two enzymes that are encoded on
the chromosome and whose expression is induced by benzoate. Benzoate also binds to the …

Two LysR-type transcriptional regulators, BenM and CatM, control benzoate consumption by
the soil bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1. These homologs play overlapping roles in the …

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

Pseudomonas putida benF, benK, benE1, and benE2 genes encode proteins belonging to
benzoate transporter super family, but those functions have not yet been elucidated. In this …

BenM and CatM control transcription of a complex regulon for aromatic compound
degradation. These Acinetobacter baylyi paralogues belong to the largest family of …

We report here that the bzd genes for anaerobic benzoate degradation in Azoarcus sp.
strain CIB are organized as two transcriptional units, ie, a benzoate-inducible catabolic …
