Dehalogenase genes of Pseudomonas putida PP3 on chromosomally located transposable elements.
Abstract
Pseudomonas putida PP3 utilizes halogenated alkanoic acids (HAA) such as 2,2-DCPA as its sole carbon and energy sources. Spontaneous HHA- mutants, isolated by selection for resistance to the toxic analogs monochloroacetic acid and dichloroacetic acid, arose at frequencies several orders of magnitude higher than expected for spontaneous mutations. Analysis of the five classes of mutants isolated suggested that the dehalogenase and HAA permease genes were on chromosomally located transposable elements and that the spontaneous mutations involved excision of these elements. This suggestion was confirmed by the observation that one of the elements can transpose to a target DNA molecule. The frequency of the excision event was strongly influenced by environmental conditions. Possible relationships between expression of cryptic genes and their location on transposable elements are discussed.

“Difluoroacetate has been found to be much more recalcitrant to biodegradation (Alexandrino et al., 2018), while dichloroacetate is readily biodegraded (Slater et al., 1985; Busto et al., 1992; Thomas et al., 1992; Blackburn et al., 2000; Dixon et al., 2000; Pandey et al., 2017; Chen et al., 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
