Importance of different tfd genes for degradation of chloroaromatics by Ralstonia eutropha JMP134.
The tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I,) and tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II) gene modules of plasmid pJP4 of Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 encode complete sets of functional enzymes for the transformation of chlorocatechols into 3-oxoadipate, which are all expressed during growth on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D). However, activity of tfd(I)-encoded enzymes was usually higher than that of tfd(II)-encoded enzymes, both...
متن کاملEfficient degradation of 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol requires a set of catabolic genes related to tcp genes from Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4).
2,4,6-Trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) is a hazardous pollutant. Several aerobic bacteria are known to degrade this compound. One of these, Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4), a well-known, versatile chloroaromatic compound degrader, is able to grow in 2,4,6-TCP by converting it to 2,6-dichlorohydroquinone, 6-chlorohydroxyquinol, 2-chloromaleylacetate, maleylacetate, and beta-ketoadipate. Three enzyme ...
متن کاملCharacterization of a second tfd gene cluster for chlorophenol and chlorocatechol metabolism on plasmid pJP4 in Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4).
Within the 5.9-kb DNA region between the tfdR and tfdK genes on the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) catabolic plasmid pJP4 from Ralstonia eutropha JMP134, we identified five open reading frames (ORFs) with significant homology to the genes for chlorocatechol and chlorophenol metabolism (tfdCDEF and tfdB) already present elsewhere on pJP4. The five ORFs were organized and assigned as foll...
متن کاملGenetic and biochemical characterization of a 2,4,6-trichlorophenol degradation pathway in Ralstonia eutropha JMP134.
Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 can grow on several chlorinated aromatic pollutants, including 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). Although a 2,4,6-TCP degradation pathway in JMP134 has been proposed, the enzymes and genes responsible for 2,4,6-TCP degradation have not been characterized. In this study, we found that 2,4,6-TCP degradation by JMP134 was inducible by 2,4,6...
متن کاملNovel insights into the interplay between peripheral reactions encoded by xyl genes and the chlorocatechol pathway encoded by tfd genes for the degradation of chlorobenzoates by Ralstonia eutropha JMP134.
Many bacteria can grow on chloroaromatic pollutants because they can transform them into chlorocatechols, which are further degraded by enzymes of a specialized ortho-cleavage pathway. Ralstonia eutropha JMP134 is able to grow on 3-chlorobenzoate by using two pJP4-encoded, ortho-cleavage chlorocatechol degradation gene clusters (tfdC(I)D(I)E(I)F(I) and tfdD(II)C(II)E(II)F(II)). Very little is k...
