Homologs of the glutathione S-transferase (GST)-encoding gene were identified in a collection of aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading Sphingomonas spp. isolated from New Zealand, Antarctica, and the United States by using PCR primers designed from the GST-encoding gene of Sphingomonas paucimobilis EPA505. Sequence analysis of PCR fragments generated from these isolates and of the GST gene amplified from DNA extracted from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil revealed a high degree of conservation, which may make the GST-encoding gene a potentially useful marker for PAH-degrading bacteria.
通过使用根据少动鞘氨醇单胞菌EPA505的谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GST)编码基因设计的PCR引物,在从新西兰、南极洲和美国分离出的一组降解芳烃的鞘氨醇单胞菌中鉴定出了GST编码基因的同源物。对这些分离株产生的PCR片段以及从多环芳烃(PAH)污染土壤中提取的DNA扩增出的GST基因进行序列分析,结果显示出高度的保守性,这可能使GST编码基因成为PAH降解细菌的一个潜在有用的标记。
