We constructed hybrid Pseudomonas strains in which the bphA1 gene (coding for a large subunit of biphenyl dioxygenase) is replaced with the todC1 gene (coding for a large subunit of toluene dioxygenase of Pseudomonas putida Fl) within chromosomal biphenyl-catabolic bph gene clusters. Such hybrid strains gained the novel capability to grow on a wide range of aromatic hydrocarbons, and, more interestingly, they degraded chloroethenes such as trichloroethylene and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene very efficiently.
我们构建了杂种假单胞菌菌株,其中在染色体联苯分解代谢bph基因簇内,bphA1基因(编码联苯双加氧酶的大亚基)被todC1基因(编码恶臭假单胞菌Fl甲苯双加氧酶的大亚基)所取代。这类杂种菌株获得了在多种芳香烃上生长的新能力,更有趣的是,它们能非常有效地降解氯乙烯,如三氯乙烯和顺式-1,2-二氯乙烯。
