benK encodes a hydrophobic permease-like protein involved in benzoate degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Sept 1997

Collier L S, Nichols N N, Neidle E L

Abstract excerpt

The chromosomal benK gene was identified within a supraoperonic gene cluster involved in benzoate degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1, and benK was expressed in response to a benzoate metabolite, cis,cis-muconate. The disruption of benK reduced benzoate uptake and impaired the use of ben...
