Abstract excerpt
The field of Rhodococcus cell engineering is rapidly advancing because of the availability of improved genetic tools and increased insights in their broad catabolic and biochemical diversity. Rhodococci harbor large linear plasmids that may contribute to their catabolic diversity. In addition, multiple pathways and gene homologs are often present, thus further increasing Rhodococcus catabolic versatility and...
