Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas sp. strain HKT554 degrades naphtho[1,2- b]thiophene and two other isomers, naphtho[2,1- b]thiophene and naphtho[2,3- b]thiophene, by cometabolism, in the absence of any specific inducer, at similar degradation rates. A mutant of strain HKT554, deficient in dibenzothiophene degradation, was generated by using a recently developed transposition system. Sequence analysis of the mutant revealed that the...
