Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Isolation of the genes relative to PCB biodegradation and identification of the bph gene function in Rhodococcus sp. R04. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 8.7-kb fragment carrying the biphenyl catabolic genes bphABCD was isolated from the gene library in Rhodococcus sp. R04. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence homology, seven bph genes, bphA1A2A3A4, bphB, bphC and bphD, were thought to be responsible for the...
