Biochemical and molecular characterization of the gentisate transporter GenK in Corynebacterium glutamicum.
BACKGROUND: Gentisate (2,5-dihydroxybenzoate) is a key ring-cleavage substrate involved in various aromatic compounds degradation. Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC13032 is capable of growing on gentisate and genK was proposed to encode a transporter involved in this utilization by its disruption in t...
