Abstract excerpt
The bph genes involved in PCB/biphenyl degradation in Pseudomonas sp. KKS102 are clustered as bphEGFA1A2A3BCDA4R. The bph genes are inducibly expressed in the presence of biphenyl. In order to understand the induction more fully, the inducer of bph gene expression was investigated. To identify the inducer molecule, we constructed four deletion mutants of the structural genes and analyzed the inducibility of the...
