Abstract excerpt
Thauera aromatica T1 was isolated for its ability to use toluene as a sole carbon source under denitrifying conditions. A genetic approach was used to examine the roles of the tutF, tutD, and tutG gene products (part of a single operon) in the metabolism of toluene. The genes were individually deleted from the chromosome and each resulting mutant strain was unable to metabolize toluene. Plasmids carrying...
