Abstract

Two complementary sets of genes, areCBA and salE/salA, adjacent on the chromosome of Acinebacter sp. ADP1, are responsible for the initial steps in the catabolism of benzyl esters of alkanoic acids and alkyl salicylates respectively. We propose an in depth study of the regulation of these genes by two regulators AreR and SalR which are part of the same gene cluster. This study will be expedited by the natural transformation- recombination system of strain ADP1 which enables mutations, constructed in vitro, to be readily introduced into the bacterial chromosome.
