Growth of Pseudomonas putida (pWWO) on alkylbenzoates requires the expression of the meta pathway operon, which is mediated by the XylS protein after binding of a benzoate effector. Alternatively, in cells growing on toluene or its aromatic alcohols, overexpression of

Journal of general microbiology, 136(4), 627-636 (1990-04-01)
The ability to degrade aromatic amines and m-toluate (Tdn+ phenotype), encoded by plasmid pTDN1, was lost from Pseudomonas putida hosts after subculture in benzoate, succinate, acetate and glucose minimal medium, the fastest rate of loss occurring where benzoate was the

Applied and environmental microbiology, 54(3), 638-641 (1988-03-01)
A psychrotrophic bacterium, originally isolated from a natural aquatic environment, was characterized and identified as Pseudomonas putida Q5 for use as a representative recipient for biodegradative genes from a mesophilic microorganism. The TOL plasmid pWWO of the mesophile P. putida

Journal of applied microbiology, 86(5), 817-826 (1999-05-29)
The tolerance to, and degradation of m-toluate by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), a symbiotic mycorrhizal fungus (Suillus bovinus) and Pseudomonas fluorescens strains, with or without m-toluate-degrading capacity, was determined individually and in all symbiotic/associative plant-microbe combinations. Fungal survival on medium
G M Stephens et al.
Journal of general microbiology, 133(7), 1891-1899 (1987-07-01)
The effect of various lipophilic weak acids on the stability of certain TOL plasmids was investigated. Benzoate induced deletion of TOL plasmid DNA in Pseudomonas putida MT15, followed by loss of the plasmid; this effect was pH- and concentration-dependent, suggesting
