Transcriptional Regulation of the Peripheral Pathway for the Anaerobic Catabolism of Toluene and m-Xylene in Azoarcus sp. CIB

Alkylbenzenes, such as toluene and m-xylene, are an important class of contaminant hydrocarbons that are widespread and tend to accumulate in subsurface anoxic environments. The peripheral pathway for the anaerobic oxidation of toluene in bacteria consists of an initial activation catalyzed by a ben...
