Abstract excerpt
In a previous environmental survey of a polluted area, the authors identified two catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) sequences predominant in environmental bacterial isolates mineralizing benzene and/or toluene and also in soil DNA extracts. In the present study, using information of stable operon arrangement and conserved gene sequences, the complete C23O ORFs of these two variants were cloned, sequenced and...
