Transformation of "E. coli" with plasmids coding for degradation of aromatic structure of phenols

Abstract

Recently much attention is paid to the ability of microorganisms to degrade and detoxify large amounts of aromatic compounds enter­ing the environment as a result of man's indus­trial and agricultural activity [1]. Different genera of bacteria are a ble to metabolize a vast majority of natura( and synthetic aromatic compounds [2). These microorganisms are ca­pa ble of inducing synthesis of catabolic enyzmes thai initiate degradation of severa( phenolic compounds[...]
