Abstract excerpt
The pVI150 catabolic plasmid of Pseudomonas sp. strain CF600 carries the dmp system, which comprises the divergently transcribed dmpR gene and the dmp operon coding for the catabolic enzymes required for growth on (methyl)phenols. The constitutively expressed DmpR transcriptional activator positi...
