Functional Characterization of a 28-Kilobase Catabolic Island from Pseudomonas sp. Strain M1 Involved in Biotransformation of β-Myrcene and Related Plant-Derived Volatiles.

Abstract excerpt

Pseudomonas sp. strain M1 is able to mineralize highly hydrophobic and recalcitrant compounds, such as benzene, phenol, and their methylated/halogenated derivatives, as well as the backbone of several monoterpenes. The ability to use such a spectrum of compounds as the sole carbon source is, most probably, associated with a genetic background evolved under different environmental constraints. The outstanding...
