Abstract excerpt
Aromatic dioxygenase genes have long been of interest for bioremediation and aromatic carbon cycling studies. To date, 115 primers and probes have been designed and used to analyze dioxygenase gene diversities in environmental samples. Here we analyze those primers' specificities, coverages, and PCR product lengths compared to known aromatic dioxygenase genes based on in silico analysis as well as summarize their...
