(a) TPA metabolism reported in bacteria. The names of the molecules and abbreviations are: terephthalic acid, TPA; 1,6-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,4-diene-dicarboxylate, DCD; protocatechuate, PCA. (b) Genetic organisation of the tph genes identified in several genomes available in databases. Numbers below arrows indicate the percentage of identity compared to the orthologous genes present in Comamonas sp. E6 (accession: AB238679; [50]) with the exception of the tphK genes that were compared to the ortholog present in the plasmid pDK3 of Rhodococcus sp. DK17 (accession: AY502076; [48]). Plots were produced with SyntTax (http://archaea.u-psud.fr/SyntTax; [55]).
