Genome-based analysis for the identification of genes involved in o-xylene degradation in Rhodococcus opacus R7

Genome-based analysis for the identification of genes involved in o-xylene degradation in Rhodococcus opacus R7

Abstract Background Bacteria belonging to the Rhodococcus genus play an important role in the degradation of many contaminants, including methylbenzenes. These bacteria, widely distributed in the environment, are known to be a powerhouse of numerous degradation functions, due to their ability to met...
