Three types of taxis used in the response of Acidovorax sp. strain JS42 to 2-nitrotoluene.

Applied and environmental microbiology - 1 Apr 2012

Rabinovitch-Deere Christine A, Parales Rebecca E

Abstract excerpt

Acidovorax sp. strain JS42 is able to utilize 2-nitrotoluene (2NT) as its sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy source. We report here that strain JS42 is chemotactic to 2NT and that the response is increased when cells are grown on compounds such as 2NT that are known to induce the first step of 2NT degradation. Assays with JS42 mutants unable to oxidize 2NT showed that the first step of 2NT metabolism was required...
