physiological function
operon NtnWCMAB encodes enzymes which are expressed during growth on both 4-nitrotoluene and toluene and are responsible for their oxidation to 4-nitrobenzoate and benzoate, respectively. These genes encode an alcohol dehydrogenase homolog (ntnW), an NAD1-linked benzaldehyde dehydrogenase (ntnC), a two-gene toluene monooxygenase (ntnMA), and part of a benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase (ntnB)
physiological function
-
presence of chlorinated toluenes induces expression of enzymes of the xylene degradation sequence. Conjugative transfer of the TOL plasmid from Pseudomonas putida strain PaW1 to Pseudomonas sp. strain B13 and Pseudomonas cepacia strain JH230 allows the isolation of hybrid strains capable of growing in the presence of 3-chloro-, 4-chloro- and 3,5-dichlorotoluene
