Abstract excerpt
Acidovorax sp. (formally Pseudomonas sp.) strain KKS102 carries a bph operon for the degradation of PCB/biphenyl. Transcription from the pE promoter for the bph operon was found to be under catabolite control, i.e. the promoter activity was at a lower level when succinate, fumarate or acetate was added to the culture. Some mutations in the immediate upstream region of the pE promoter resulted in...
