Thiophene metabolism by E. coli. Final technical report, September 15, 1987--December 31, 1991

The objective for this project was to continue the genetic analysis of the thiophene oxidation system, in particular: 1. characterization of the biochemical pathway for thiophene oxidation, 2. identification and mapping of any further genes involved in thiophene degradation, 3. analysis of how the thd genes are regulated, and 4. cloning and sequencing of at least some of the thd genes.
