Molecular genetic analysis of phosphite and hypophosphite oxidation by Pseudomonas stutzeri WM88.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1998

Metcalf W W, Wolfe R S

Abstract excerpt

The first molecular and genetic characterization of a biochemical pathway for oxidation of the reduced phosphorus (P) compounds phosphite and hypophosphite is reported. The pathway was identified in Pseudomonas stutzeri WM88, which was chosen for detailed studies from a group of organisms isolate...
