Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas sp. strain Y2 is a styrene-degrading bacterium, which initiates the catabolism of this compound via its transformation into phenylacetate by the sequential oxidation of the vinyl side chain. The styrene upper catabolic gene cluster (sty genes) had been localized in a 9.2-kb chromosomal region. This report describes the isolation, sequencing and analysis of an adjacent 20.5-kb chromosomal region that...
