Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas putida 1290 is a model organism for the study of bacterial degradation of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). This property is encoded by the iac gene cluster. Insertional inactivation and/or deletion of individual iac genes and heterologous expression of the gene cluster in Escherichia coli were combined with mass spectrometry to demonstrate that iac-based degradation of IAA is likely to...
