The mhqPOD gene cluster in lignin-degrading Paenibacillus sp. B2 encodes a pathway for degradation of lignin-derived 5,5'-di(dehydrovanillic acid) (DDVA)
{{output}}
Lignin-degrading bacteria Paenibacillus sp. B2, Agrobacterium sp. B1 and Ochrobactrum sp. each contain mhqO genes encoding ring cleavage dioxygenase enzymes whose biochemical function is unknown. Each of these strains was found to degrade the biphenyl-containi... ...
