Abstract excerpt
The six enzymes required for catabolism of protocatechuate to succinate and acetylCoA are encoded by the pca genes in the Gram-bacterium, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. The clustered A. calcoaceticus cat genes encode an analogous set of enzymes associated with the metabolic dissimilation of catecho...
