We developed a quantitative PCR method for tracking the dxnA1 gene, the initial, megaplasmid-borne gene in Sphingomonas wittichii RW1's dibenzo-p-dioxin degradation pathway. We used this method on complex environmental samples and report on growth of S. wittichii RW1 in landfill leachate, thus furnishing a novel tool for monitoring megaplasmid-borne, dioxygenase-encoding genes.
我们开发了一种定量 PCR 方法来追踪 Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 的二苯并-p-二恶英降解途径中最初的、大质粒携带的 dxnA1 基因。我们在复杂的环境样本中使用了这种方法,并报告了 S. wittichii RW1 在垃圾渗滤液中的生长情况,从而为监测大质粒携带的双加氧酶编码基因提供了一种新工具。
