The itinerary followed by Pseudomonas putida from being a soil-dweller and plant colonizer
bacterium to become a flexible and engineer-able platform for metabolic engineering stems …

Recent advances in molecular biology have extended our understanding of the metabolic
processes related to microbial transformation of petroleum hydrocarbons. The physiological …

Pollution of soil and water environments by crude oil has been, and is still today, an
important problem. Crude oil is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds. Among them …

Widespread pollution of terrestrial ecosystems with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has
generated a need for remediation and, given that many PHCs are biodegradable, bio-and …

Metabolically versatile free-living bacteria have global regulation systems that allow cells to
selectively assimilate a preferred compound among a mixture of several potential carbon …

Using sequence profile analysis and sequence-based structure predictions, we define a
previously unrecognized, widespread class of P-loop NTPases. The signal transduction …

Although Escherichia coli has long been recognized as the best-understood living organism,
little was known about its abilities to use aromatic compounds as sole carbon and energy …

Product removal from aqueous media poses a challenge in biotechnological whole-cell
biotransformation processes in which substrates and/or products may have toxic effects. The …

Alkanes are major constituents of crude oil. They are also present at low concentrations in
diverse non-contaminated because many living organisms produce them as chemo …
