Abstract excerpt
Sphingobium sp. strain SYK-6 expresses the best characterized catabolic systems for lignin-derived aromatic compounds. However, the uptake systems for these aromatics remain unknown. In this study, we identified and characterized the protocatechuate (PCA) transporter gene SLG_12880 (pcaK) in SYK-6. Sequence comparisons revealed that PcaK belongs to the aromatic acid/H+ symporter family of major facilitator...
