Although in the past century large amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons have been released
as a consequence of industrial activity, most of these compounds in the environment are the …

The genes for a two-component regulatory system of the denitrifying toluene-degrading
bacterium Thauera aromatica were identified immediately upstream of the genes for …

T1 is a denitrifying bacterium isolated for its ability to grow with toluene serving as the sole
carbon source. Mutants of this strain that have defects in the toluene utilization pathway …

Publisher Summary The chapter introduces TOL plasmids and discusses pathways for
toluene and xylenes catabolisms, regulation of catabolic genes, and evolution of catabolic …

The expression of pathways for the catabolism of aromatic compounds is energetically
expensive, and aromatic compounds are generally toxic even to bacteria that can use them …

In order to study the toluene and o-xylene catabolic genes of Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1, a
genomic library was constructed. A 28-kb EcoRI restriction endonuclease DNA fragment …

Aromatic hydrocarbons are formed by the pyrolysis of organic material. Their ubiquitous
distribution in the environment can be attributed to natural and anthropogenic sources. The …

Human activities have resulted in the release and introduction into the environment of a
plethora of aromatic chemicals. The interest in discovering how bacteria are dealing with …

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 …

The sheer persistence and dissemination of xenobiotic aromatic hydrocarbons contaminants
demand sustainable solutions for degradation. Therefore, major pathways of microbial …
