Comparison of the phthalate operon (A) and the β-ketoadipate operon (B) in the genus Mycobacterium including the six PAH-degraders and the PAH-non-degraders . The pht and β-ketoadipate operons, which link the peripheral pathways (RCPs and SCPs) to the TCA cycle in the PAH-MN, are conserved in the PAH-degraders, whereas some of the PAH-non-degraders, including strains JDM601, 104, and K-10, have a broken operon structure.
