Functional roles of multiple Ton complex genes in a Sphingobium degrader of lignin-derived aromatic compounds

Abstract TonB-dependent transporters (TBDTs) mediate outer membrane transport of nutrients using the energy derived from proton motive force transmitted from the TonB–ExbB–ExbD complex localized in the inner membrane. Recently, we discovered ddvT encoding a TBDT responsible for the uptake of a 5,5-t...
