Analysis of Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas sp. QTF5 Reveals Its Benzoic Acid Degradation Ability and Heavy Metal Tolerance

Figure 4

Genetic structure of benzoic acid degradation gene clusters, ben operon and cat operon, was detected in scaffold AZRW02000002.1 (scheme). The location and polarity of genes are shown with arrows. Hypo: hypothetical protein; smpA: membrane protein; yfcD: NUDIX hydrolase; benD-xylL: 1,6-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-carboxylate dehydrogenase; benC-xylZ: benzene 1,2-dioxygenase reductase component; benB-xylY: benzene 1,2-dioxygenase subunit beta; benA-xylX: benzene 1,2-dioxygenase subunit alpha; benR: ben operon regulatory protein; catA: catechol 1,2-dioxygenase; catC: muconolactone delta-isomerase; catB: muconate cycloisomerase; catR: cat operon regulatory protein.
