Expression of benzoyl-CoA metabolism genes in the lignocellulolytic host Caldicellulosiruptor bescii

Abstract Genes responsible for the anaerobic catabolism of benzoate in the thermophilic archaeon Ferroglobus placidus were expressed in the thermophilic lignocellulose-degrading bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii, as a first step to engineering this bacterium to degrade this lignin metabolite.
