Induction of toluene degradation and growth promotion in corn and wheat by horizontal gene transfer within endophytic bacteria

2010-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Some experiments involving important crop plants, corn and wheat, were carried out to characterize the agronomic and environmental application of Burkholderia cepacia strain FX2 able to degrade toluene and containing plasmids with the gene encoding for catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase (C23O), a key enzyme in the degradation pathway of monocyclic aromatic compounds. The inoculation of corn and wheat with FX2 led to the pr...
