FIG. 8.

Organizations of the gene clusters involved in the PCA 2,3-cleavage pathway and the catechol meta-cleavage pathway. pra_JJ-1b, the pra gene cluster in JJ-1b; xyl_mt-2, the xyl gene cluster in pWW0 of P. putida mt-2 (AJ344068); nah_G7, the nah gene cluster in NAH7 of P. putida G7 (AB237655); dmp_CF600, the dmp gene cluster in pVI150 of Pseudomonas sp. strain CF600 (M33263, X52805, and X60835); BL, the putative PCA 2,3-cleavage pathway gene cluster of B. licheniformis ATCC 14580 (CP000002); GYMC61, the putative PCA 2,3-cleavage pathway gene cluster of Geobacillus sp. strain Y412MC61 (ACED01000008). The ORF labeled with an asterisk does not appear in the Y412MC61 genome database.
