Abstract excerpt
Monobromoacetate (MBA) is toxic for the 1,2-dichloroethane-degrading bacterium Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 at concentrations higher than 5 mM. Mutants which are able to grow on higher concentrations of MBA were isolated and found to overexpress haloacid dehalogenase, which is encoded by the dhlB gene. In mutant GJ10M50, a DNA fragment (designated IS1247) had copied itself from a position on the chromosome...
