FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO PHENYLACETYL-COA LIGASES IN BURKHOLDERIA CENOCEPACIA

Burkholderia cenocepacia causes Cepacia syndrome, a fatal pneumonia that affects Cystic Fibrosis patients. Aromatic degradation has been linked to virulence in B. cenocepacia by insertional mutagenesis of genes involved in phenylacetic acid catabolism. B. cenocepacia has two paralogous copies of Paa...
