Abstract excerpt
Bacterium Burkholderia sp. MBA4 can utilize haloacids as the sole carbon and energy source for growth. We have previously reported that a haloacid operon, encoding for a dehalogenase (Deh4a) and an associated permease (Deh4p), was responsible for the transformation and uptake of haloacids in MBA4. A disruption of deh4p in MBA4 caused a decrease in monochloroacetate (MCA) uptake, confirming its role as a haloacid...
