TsaR is the putative LysR-type regulator of the tsa operon (tsaMBCD) which encodes the first steps in the degradation of p-toluenesulfonate (TSA) in Comamonas testosteroni T-2. Transposon mutagenesis was used to knock out tsaR. The resulting mutant lacked the ability

We have determined the entire nucleotide sequence of a 4.4 kbp fragment of pMOP, a plasmid involved in 4-methylphthalate catabolism in Burkholderia cepacia (formerly Pseudomonas cepacia) Pc701. Two complete ORFs were identified and termed mopA and mopB. mopB encodes a
