Positive Regulation and Transcription Initiation of XYL Operons on TOL Plasmid

  • Chapter
Plasmids in Bacteria

Abstract

Members of the bacterial genus Pseudomonas have a capacity to degrade a wide range of organic compounds. Many degradative pathways are controlled by chromosomal genes, while some catabolic activities are specified by genes borne on plasmids.
