Identification and expression of the cym, cmt, and tod catabolic genes from Pseudomonas putida KL47: expression of the regulatory todST genes as a factor for catabolic adaptation.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas putida KL47 is a natural isolate that assimilates benzene, 1-alkylbenzene (C(1)-C(4)), biphenyl, p-cumate, and p-cymene. The genetic background of strain KL47 underlying the broad range of growth substrates was examined. It was found that the cym and cmt operons are constitutively expressed due to a lack of the cymR gene, and the tod operon is still inducible by toluene and biphenyl. The entire array...
