Discovery of a bacterial gene cluster for catabolism of the plant hormone indole 3-acetic acid.

Abstract excerpt

The isolation and annotation of an 8994-bp DNA fragment from Pseudomonas putida 1290, which conferred upon P. putida KT2440 the ability to utilize the plant hormone indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) as a sole source of carbon and energy, is described. This iac locus (for indole 3-acetic acid catabolism) was identified through analysis of a plasposon mutant of P. putida 1290 that was no longer able to grow on IAA or...
