Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to characterize naphthalene metabolism in Polaromonas naphthalenivorans CJ2. Comparisons were completed using two archetypal naphthalene-degrading bacteria: Pseudomonas putida NCIB 9816-4 and Ralstonia sp. strain U2, representative of the catechol and gentisate pathways, respectively. Strain CJ2 carries naphthalene catabolic genes that are homologous to those in Ralstonia sp. strain U2....
