Involvement of Coenzyme M during Aerobic Biodegradation of Vinyl Chloride and Ethene by <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> Strain AJ and <i>Ochrobactrum</i> sp. Strain TD

Abstract

The involvement of coenzyme M in aerobic biodegradation of vinyl chloride and ethene in Pseudomonas putida strain AJ and Ochrobactrum sp. strain TD was demonstrated using PCR, hybridization, and enzyme assays. The results of this study extend the range of eubacteria known to use epoxyalkane:coenzyme M transferase.
