Abstract excerpt
Sphingomonas sp. strain RW1 is able to mineralise dibenzofuran and dibenzo-p-dioxin. Three mutants were constructed that could not use dibenzofuran or dibenzo-p-dioxin as a carbon source but were able to grow with the succeeding metabolites of the pathway. Two different mutagenic agents were applied, a chemical treatment with 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine, resulting in mutants RW1-N6 and RW1-N7, and a...
