The atu and liu clusters are involved in the catabolic pathways for acyclic monoterpenes and leucine in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to show that the mutagenesis of the atu and liu clusters are involved in acyclic monoterpenes of the citronellol family (AMTC) and leucine catabolism by encoding the enzymes related to the geranyl-CoA and the 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA pathways, respectively. The results suggest that the atu and liu clusters are bifunctional operons involved in both the AMTC and leucine catabolic pathways.

Engineering of Dienococcus rediodurans R1 for bioprecipitation of uranium from dilute nuclear waste
Article Abstract:
A Deinococcus radiodurans strain harboring phoN, a gene encoding a nonspecific acid phosphatase, obtained from a local isolate of Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhi is constructed. Uranium bioprecipitation ability is retained by the engineered strain even after exposure to 6 kGy of [super 60]Co gamma rays.
